Date of record:   2013-10-20
Number of photos:   1
Notes:   Some 100m beyond the klipspringer a femaleleopard was walking from right to left through the bushes lining the Sand River. The klipspringer knew she was there, and had come down off the rocky hill just behind me so that he could keep his eye on her. Clearly better to have a leopard you can see or smell than one you can't.
