Super nice shot Dave! Hope they're still out there growing as well.

I hope so too. They have a lot to get through to make it to adulthood. It's not easy being a leopard.

Sweet shot and I think you done great for stability with the constrained speed by available light.
The Land Rover had a platform mounted to the side where I had a bean bag for support. I could not hold a heavy lens for a sharp shot without it.
Terrific shot of what I think might be the same cubs we saw in the Delta. We saw them in late March, 2 cubs in a hollow fallen log. We probably spent 6 hours total over 3 days waiting for them to emerge for a few minutes. The mom would stop by to call them to come out, then would go up a tree or over to a termite mound. Here is a link to two photos of the cubs from my website: https://www.wanderingeye.net/p1029134722/eab392052
