Daughter of the Campbell Koppies female: (3 years 9 months) (3 sightings)
This beautiful young female is making more of a presence every month, she is almost certainly territorial in Marthly and north-western Eyrefield but due to the nature of the terrain we don’t see her often, which is a pity. She has in the last few month been mating with the Emsagwen male and let’s hope she chooses a den site on Mala Mala should she be pregnant.

Daughter of the Campbell Koppies female: (3 years 8 months) (2 sightings)
Both sightings involved this female mating with the Emsagwen male, she was relaxed in the presence of the vehicles and allowed to watch the unique spectacle that is leopards mating. She is probably territorial on the very north-western corner of Mala Mala but with the bush being so thick in that region we don’t see her much.

(3 years 5 months) (2 sightings)
This female leopard was only seen twice this month on the first occasion it was up near Mlowathi dam and she was hunting impala during the day with very little cover, which as you can imagine did not last long and was not very successful. The second sighting was at night were she was found with the remains of a White-tailed mongoose at night. She fed on it for a while before taking it into the reeds to eat out of sight. Both occasions she seemed in very good condition and very relaxed. It is always good to see that our leopards are doing well.

She still seems to be nursing cubs, however we still have not seen her cubs, they seem to be based to the north of Mala Mala and only when this mother leopard comes down to maintain presence in the southern part of her territory do we get to see her. She is in very good condition though and is still very relaxed around vehicles, hopefully the water in Mlowathi dam during the tough winter months will draw her into Mala Mala with her cubs.

She was seen once up at Mlowathi dam. Whether she has become territory in the very north western parts of Mala Mala is unknown but it’s fantastic to see her and hopefully she will once again grace our lands.
