Love the teamwork! The photo of the Ingrid dam female in the tree was deja vu for me – I was with Guy in November when we sighted her and came away with similar images. She is such a pretty leopardess and easily recognizable. Assuming no cubs for her yet, after she lost the last ones?

Ingrid Dam female. That’s nice. She’s Xidulu female Leopard’s mother.

Always love finding a leopard in a tree. They give a look as if to say don’t make any noise or give away where I am. They are often so hard to see but when they are stretched out on the limb lord or lady of all the see the are magnificent. Victoria
