Description: A mother leopard taking her cub to a carcass on the tree

Story from behind the lens: This mother leopard had to really work hard to cox the skittish cub out of the bush and take it to a tree where she had hoisted a carcass earlier. After a great deal of encouragement, the young one managed to get just enough courage to come out of the bush and follow the mother up to the tree. At the end she climbed first whilst the cub was getting ready to follow the mother up on to the tree.
