Leopard cub and mum playing, Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana
This young cub is learning a lot during these playful bouts. What we interpret as an incredible interaction between mother and cub could mean the difference between life and death when the cub becomes self-sufficient later in life. These bouts teach the cub various methods of defence through play. They can be quite rough with one another, which is necessary because the real-life will not be gentle. 🥰
