Rare Sighting of Leopard in Rawsonville

One of our clients was lucky enough to be pointing a pair of binoculars at the right spot in the mountain when this leopard walked into her view!!! She had heard bleating noises of a lamb of a buck...and was looking for the source...well the leopard was obviously doing the same!

The tracks of leopards are often seen on the farms in the surrounding mountains of Worcester, but to see an actual leopard is RARE!!! That is why this photo is so special...she grabbed her camera with telephoto lens on, and had to look carefully to spot the leopard again! A bit blurred, but who cares! You can see it! I enhanced her original photos a bit and zoomed in on the leopard...wow! Really amazing!

Their farm is in the mountains at Rawsonville, close to Daschbosch Winery. So in the mountains in fact that she is constantly on guard for baboons...they (3 naughty teenagers) are terrorizing her dogs to get into the vegetable garden (she has no fences)! Apparently a good shot with a stone close by gets rid of them!

Here's another view of the leopard.
