It takes mommy leopard three tries to get her two Cubs across the road. Her patience and gentleness is so inspiring. I’ve seen human mom’s with a lot less patience.
The video made my day and I needed a reason to smile today.
I hope the person taking the video was inside a car and ready to back the car out of there any moment. However used to people Mama seems to be, I suspect she’d defend those cubs in a hurry if she thought somebody was trying to get too close.
Yeah, they are hard to spot in the wild. I was in Kenya and the guide heard a pair had been spotted, about 15 vehicles surrounded them and even then I barely caught a glimpse. And concur, they are not animals you want to make grumpy.
I was referring to the danger from other predators. Most highways have a large area cleared of undergrowth on each side. The leopard was clearly very concerned and was constantly looking for any threat to her cubs.
I hadn’t thought about the danger that cleared land represented. There is no where to hide from predators
