This is the Vomba female leopard (Panthera pardus)and her 5-6 month old cub.The Vomba female is the mother of Mashaba female shown in one of my recent posts.Notice how much darker the mother is compared to the cub.He is a male and already is getting close to his mom`s size.The grass in mid summer is very high making visualization difficult.Early morning near Londolozi,South Africa.
