Have recently returned from another wonderful 3 weeks in Ruaha and was very fortunate to be granted an off road permit and a working assignment with TANAPA (Tanzania National Parks Authority).
An alarm call by a pair of Black-backed Jackals led us to this young male leopard that had just killed one of it's older pups. Quite a rare sighting, a mature male lion had just arrived on the scene forcing the leopard to quickly snatch the jackal and attempt to secure his prize higher up the sausage tree, a special treat indeed.
