Mother Leopard Takes Her Son To Food | Archive Footage

hey everybody i'm rob the ranger and you're watching me no but anyway enjoy the video it's a young male this one young male cup first ever time i've seen him seen a picture of him when he was tiny see mum's already getting crossed with him already getting to the age he's must be a year old now so he's getting to the age where she's going to get more aggressive with him over time push him away oh [Music] like a little kitty just a bit far both drinking now take it out come on there's a big fella that where's the one eating he's just moving up and down here she's one of the oldest females in the area now she was born in 1993 how hungry they live not 17 years you're getting the animal in the or the your subject in the right spot i don't know well the thing that fills the biggest amount of the graph is a bit that gets focused on i'm not sure ah there you are the mother's awfully good oh she's still just cleaning down she's getting so she can get between her back legs with the tongue we're talking about on the top of the hill there just the same as ordinary cats right yeah pretty much just a bigger version exquisite beyond exquisite thanks timmy um impalas maybe up to the size of nyalas and anything smaller than that um unusual kills yeah i'd also say it's a bushback oh sure you can see its ears this we've never seen before zone it's making me quite angry share a kill yeah but they take it in turns to eat but how come that survived that kill survive here without anybody anything else catching you know finally oh it's fairly cool probably wasn't particularly open she probably just ate around the ramp so there wasn't a lot of smell it's well hidden in the reeds so things are only going to start finding it now when they start opening up the stomach and it starts to smell so this would have been this afternoon that she would have killed it yeah so fresh and she would have then gone back to can you see where the quality is now what do you think there's a bush my mother come and finish off yeah well he'll eat as much as he can and then he'll go and rest for a while and then she'll eat and then she'll be full and she'll rest the dogs outside because you're quite near the border of the campaign right now aren't we we're right at the edge we're on the fence line you're in bed yeah no that's the same guy's going back home well she knows her territory she knows where she would have left it she's cleaned the whole bone and she bit right through the bone you can see how the bone just look are they efficient either or they just yeah very efficient eaters they'll see they clean that bun and he's actually killing the leg before he moves onto the body but they started to tear look at that like hmm i'll show you tomorrow i've got the book in my my box here but i've only got a picture of this guy when he was very young and he was snarling so you can just see the spot pattern around the face rather than around the whiskers and it's a whisker pattern that we recognize them from uh is it is that unique one with lions as well but lion's whisker pattern isn't quite as prominent as the leopards the leopard's nice and black and distinct the lions is light brown on lighter brown so in all the 17 years of her life she's only managed to raise one cub previously and that was the one before this so she's only got good attitude and she's got old to to maturity well this is this is almost maturity yeah almost now but she's always lost her cups before that and the average leopard when do they become proficient in raising their cubs um other leopards have done it from their first litter other leopards have never raised a cup at all we thought this was going to be a leopard that never raised a cup at all until she raised the last one yeah to all intents and purposes i thought this one was dead as well are you sure this one yeah it's the same one wow my camera is terrible my camera is the one that ron uses i've got another one being donated from the uk the end of this month with hd and everything so how long have you been in this country um i came out here as a baby went back to go to school and now i've been out here since how old was i
