Here are three of the smallest leopard cubs that were captured on the PPP camera traps. These images were captured in 2020 & we are delighted that two of the three leopards shown here, are still alive. Cub mortality in leopards is extremely high due to a variety of reasons.

#Feline Friday presents a handsome, big, wild male leopard who roams the Western Soutpansberg mountains. The @PrimatePredator camera traps offer a privileged glimpse into the secret lives of these magnificent creatures, and we are extremely fortunate to be able to study them.

This thick-tailed bushbaby had a rather busy night, posing for @primate_predator camera traps. Bushbabies are known for a common behaviour they do called 'urine washing', whereby they coat their hands and feet in urine which can assist with grip when climbing. #wildlifeWednesday

This footage was taken from a 'scratch cam' that PPP had up. These camera traps were strategically placed at known leopard scratch trees. There are various reasons why leopards might scratch on trees & these include marking territory, maintaining their claws & scent communication

During COVID, PPP staff continued with the samango monkey behavioural observations, in an extremely quiet mountain. I was following the samango monkeys, in thick,tall vegetation. The samango monkeys burst out in alarm calls & I saw two crowned eagles flying overhead. Very special

All of these images were taken in a single day of fieldwork, starting off with maneuvering through kite spider webs, tip toeing over a horned baboon spider, admiring a beautiful Garden Commodore butterfly and ending off with a scorpion in the camera case. #Conservation #animals

It is always amazing to see how many different animals move past one camera station. This is a snapshot of some of the different species moving past a specific camera. Primate and Predator Project are extremely fortunate to work in such a beautiful, special location.

It is always extremely exciting to arrive home after a long fieldday and see what animals the camera traps have managed to capture. Here is a sequence of a young leopard, in it's natural habitat, just being a leopard❤ #leopard #leopardlove #globalleopardconference #conservation

1/2...The Primate Predator Project permanent camera trapping grid is setup to optimize the capture of leopard images. The cameras are set at a specific height above the ground and placed across the landscape to maximise the possibilty of leopards passing by them.

2/2... However, we have other cameras placed temporarily in the field for smaller research projects. These cameras do not have hyena proof covers, so are placed higher up in the trees to prevent hyena damage. It is interesting to get another perspective on animals, from above.

It is always wonderful to catch up with previous Primate Predator Project research managers. Very special to have Chris and Andy in the Soutpansberg mountains again.
