Leopard Cubs' upward Gaze
South Luangwa National Park, Zambia, Africa
A nearly mature leopard cub sits on a log intently staring up. In the tree above, its mother feasts on an impala kill perched safely up in a tree. Once satiated, the mother allowed the cub to join her.
Leopards are generally solitary creatures but females typically spend a substantial amount of their adult life raising cubs. After leaving the den at around three months of age they cubs are quite vulnerable and dependent on their mother for food and protection. From their mother they learn how to hunt and survive. With time, they reach independence and separate to seek out their own territories. Photo © copyright by Dr. Edward Mikol.
