What a Super Awesome Ending to an Extremely Difficult Week!! Such A Treat watching them Playing like that... Not often seen, such a Playful Mom & Little Cubby!!! Thank You Sean..... Stay Safe & Warm!! ❤
Hi LGR. That was such a lovely and sweet video clip of the Plaque Rock female and her newest brood. I know she's been very unlucky with her 4 previous litters in the past, but it's not her fault that she's lost a total of at least 10 cubs in 4 litters, she's just been unlucky. Maybe and hopefully, on her fifth attempt as a mother, she will at last be successful in getting it to independence. That will be something for her to try and achieve, although luck hasn't been on her side when it's come to raising cubs in the past sadly. I was trying g to get a good look at the cub's rear end as and when it was having a very good time of roughly and tumble with it's mother, but it wasn't easy and very clear. I hope you'll be able to have a look and tell me what that sweet and healthy cub is there. Perhaps a single cub is and will be easier for the Plaque Rock female to raise ever so very successfully. Even if she thinks it'll be safe on the ground if she chooses a very well hidden place to stash it while she's away hunting, yes it might be, but as she probably knows all to well, danger of any type could come right past the place where her cub is hiding. So if she just leaves it in a tree while she's away for a couple of hours or the day, then the tree will possibly be a lot safer and may well increase the cub's chances of survival. Wouldn't it? I don't know what you think of that, but there is a good strong possibility. As is the case with all new mother big cats, let's wish her the very best of hopeful luck with raising her newest cub to independence successfully. That is something that's yet to be on her side for once. Hasn't it? I'm impressed with how good a mother she's been to all of her previous cubs, but it is clear she's lost them all to other predators, sadly. I, like you, would like to think that she'll be successful and more lucky this time round. Another thing that will help the cub's chances of survival is if the mother moves to a new rocky densite and checks the area ever so very carefully to make absolutely sure there's no danger lurking round the area. A litter of one cub isn't unusual and unheard of at all. But I'm sure it'll be a lot easier for her to raise without any trouble. At about 6 years old, she should have raised at least one or two cubs there by now, but as it is, it's obvious she's not had luck. She's got quite a good track record for being a good mum, but a not so lucky track record when it comes to cub raising. I think it'll be down to most of the previous cubs being killed by lions, other leopards, wild dogs, and hyenas as was the very sad case with the 9yr old Ximungwe female about a month ago when she lost both of her two - 4 month old cubs in a very short space of time. So let's hope the best for her. Although I don't know, but have you heard anymore news on the Tsalala lioness's first ever litter of cubs over on Singita yet at all? If so, then good. But if not, then I hope it won't be too long now before she reveals them eventually. I'm keen, like you are, to see, know, and find out how many cubs she's got in total altogether. I also think she'll be a very good and protectively successful first-time mother to them. Even if we don't know, she could have at least 2 or 3 cubs to feed and look after. And as you know all too well, I can't wait to see the very first photos of them with her at their densite. It'll be a absolute miracle if she successfully raises them all to adulthood. But they've got a long way to go ahead of them yet, as they are about 4 weeks old in age. I think the only thing the Singita rangers can do is find and follow her to see if she'll lead them to her densite quietly. If the cubs are approximately 4 weeks old now, then I'd think it'll be at least another 2 weeks before she shows them of at long last finally. Wouldn't it? It is just so very exciting indeed. I think it's fair to say she'll be a mum in a million to them, as she grooms and suckles the tiny cubs as well as moving them to a new densite every few days whenever danger threatens or whenever it's absolutely necessary. Let's keep our fingers crossed for her and the cubs eventually. Hope to hear from you shortly. Robert 9.6.24
I'm so confused. I just watched a video of Mala Mala a day ago where the Plague Rock Female is courting the Maxims male. Was she only doing that to keep him away from her cub? Is the Maxims Male the father of this cub? Are they sure that it was the Plague Rock Female with the Maxims male? Sheez Idk, I can't ID worth diddly squat lol. Anyone help me out, so that I am not confused about this? Because I thought a female wouldn't mate while she has cub/s?
Yes, so we were set to release this video the morning that the Plaque Rock Female was killed by the Ntsevu Pride and Ndzhenga Males. That same morning we discovered that the cub had also been killed by hyenas and there was leopard cub fur on the ground at the den.
Aww, man seeing this video just made me cry all over again knowing what just happened. I couldn't even finish watching. I'm too devastated.
Same
So sweet - did not know that Mommy Leopards were that playful ❤
They can be so playful, but this one certainly took it to another level.
So joyful to see Mum and cub playing like that!
Watching any playful leopard is always entertaining.
Oh nooooo just now seeing this after hearing about her death this morning…….RIP beautiful girl and sweet baby too……so so devastating
What happemed?
What happened?
@@avisstephaney7881lions got her💔
@@avisstephaney7881A group of lions caught her on the ground
It was so sad.
Mom is incredible at teaching this baby survival technique already!!!! Animals are way smarter than we ever give credit for. ❤
Play is a valuable technique in educating the cubs.
What lovely blue eyes of the cub! Glad that one has at least survived. The mother, despite aging, is so interested in playing with her cub.
The cub was super cute.
Simply beautiful to see ! Thank you for sharing this! 🙏🏻
You are welcome.
I be never seen such a playful mom.

Playing is important for cubs and without siblings mother's will play with cubs

What a beauty of a mother
She was a stunning leopard.
Hopefully having the one cub will enable her to raise this cub to independence!
If only she could have.
What beautiful interaction between mum and cub❤
It was stunning to watch.

Wonderful interaction. She has wounds on her neck yes.
Beautiful part of nature. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you too
How incredibly sad to see this video 😢
Great video! Love the interactions!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Rip girl
So interesting maybe play time very important when cub is a single.
That's what I'm thinking too. Just like lion cubs.
It is as the cub doesn't have any siblings to play with and practice the necessary skills for later life.
Seriously so cute
Super cute

@justinenyaru95 yes I know 😭so upset!
So where is the cub . No that she was killed.
@@ermilisafigueroa7598 i think the ones who saw what happened said the Hyena's killed the cub 😞
Yes, so we were set to release this video the morning that the Plaque Rock Female was killed by the Ntsevu Pride and Ndzhenga Males. That same morning we discovered that the cub had also been killed by hyenas and there was leopard cub fur on the ground at the den.
