p.2 #1 · A Leopard dangles precariously some 30ft off the ground!


Then there is the disinformation that is increasing all the time.

Here is an example. Redline Media identifies this as a Jaguar hauling its heavy prey up the tree. I do have difficulty seeing some of the spot patterns on the Jaguar and Leopard, but am quite sure that this is a Leopard. That is a very powerful cat.

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1829646204110756

So I went to Redline Media and it is full of video clips, all appearing to be from Africa.

Here is my point: There are so many misidentified animals on this site. Today, increasingly, the attitude is to just publicize it and get some clicks. So I tried to send a message to Redline Media but found the message box to be a chat; i.e. Ai.

Totally agree 100% with you on this "AI disinformation" "click bait" age we live in, and it's getting harder and harder do disseminate as to what is real any more!
Re, strength of cats, there's no point in going back and forth here and will agree to disagree on those rankings.But there's no doubt that those large climbing cats have incredible hauling strength!

Yes, they have *incredible* hauling strengths.

I hope you will let us know when your DaVinci video is published. And please.... no hurry Marc. I am into DaVinci too but not far. Lots more to learn.

It really was a pleasure discussing nature with you. Thanks.

A leopard carrying prey up the trees. For me, those rosette patterns were not easy to learn. I think I can quickly ID them now

Well, seems to me as a mom, that the species does not determine how much a PITA raising "kids" can be!
Marc, this is awesome and you are so fortunate to have seen and captured it! Congratulations and well done!

That 400 2.8 TC is such an amazing lens. Shocked at the quality and versatility of it. Excellent shots!
