2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Leopard, Okavango Delta, Botswana
Relaxing with Mom

Species: Leopard | Location: Okavango Delta, Botswana

We were on an afternoon game drive and our guide wanted to see if we could find a female leopard and her two 10-11 month old cubs. We found her in a clearing and stopped 20 feet away and waited. Her male cub came out of the bushes and ambled over to her for a 15 minute wrestling, washing, and snuggling session. In this image, the cub is on top of mom!! What a great experience!
