This is a young male Leopard we came across shortly after leaving camp, which we shadowed for most of the morning as he followed the scent of his father. This guy eventually stopped on top of a termite mound - did he really know what I could see? In the entrance towards the back, I could just see a Warthog, did the Leopard know it was there, did the Warthog know the Leopard was there?

I left them to it...

Thanks to those who viewed or posted a comment on the previous thread.
