Scentmarking…!

Goodmorning everyone!… Im back on the leopards and they are looking as healthy as ever! Here i found the cub of the south scentmarking in her mothers territory, she is about 15 months old and just left her mother, young leopards leave their mothers to find and settle in their own territories or home ranges. Juveniles begin to accompany their mother on hunting trips at just about two to three months old. They start to learn hunting skills through playing pouncing, hiding, stalking, and sneaking up on each other. They practice catching and killing small live animals brought back by their mother before they hunt on their own.
