Leopards of the Okawango delta

The Okavango delta at low water level
a female leopard exits from her bush
to hunt for her 2 young ones
who eat with relish the killed impala


while their mum digests on a tree
the next morning we came back and saw them
one eats a leg of the impala
while the other  walks around
sniffs at something suspicious
get ready to jump
and run away from...
his worst enemy: the Baboon!
a buffalo with his oxpecker (piqueboeuf) watches the scene
elephants continue their orderly procession
hypos try to intimidate us
but not these impalas
nor these ones fighting for the harem.
this male warthog (phacochère) watches ...
his partner left with her last baby alive
an African wild cat is hunting
a pygmy mongoose looks for snakes
It's time to watch the sunset
