Mathoja & her cub

In June last year we posted a blog entry about the leopard Mathoja, meaning the one that walks with a limp. Mathoja had given birth to two cubs but sadly one of them was killed by a male leopard. The little female cub survived and is thriving.

Recently, guests accompanied by photo guide Trevor Kleyn had a great sighting of this female leopard and her adorable cub. The cub has grown somewhat since June last year and is doing exceptionally well. Since we are frequently asked about the progress of Mothoja’s surviving cub, we thought we’d share these photos taken by Trevor of mom and daughter having some fun together.
