i saw the show of eye of a leopard and i was truly fascinated by how the wild kingdom's different leopards react to mistakes
i was surprised the mother would treat her cub that way!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope this blog continues for years! Legadema truly touched my soul!
I recently viewed "Living with Big Cats", a delightful follow-up of last year's "Eye of the Leopard".
I was surprised that this program didn't show Legadema's cubs, since the April, 2007 National Geographic magazine article spoke about them.
This blog photo apparently does not include one of her cubs . . . or does it? Forgive me if I don't know which leopard is Legadema. Can the Jouberts tell us if Legadema lost her cubs?
I also wonder if Legadema's mother successfully raised her own new cubs.

Beverly -
Thank you very much for your kind words about the blog - we will keep it going as long as we can! As for Legadema, the Jouberts are currently shooting their next documentary and are a pretty inaccessible at this time. But when they are back here at the channel we will try and answer your question. All the best Beverly.
