BCC EP:117 The leopard, the cub & the farmyard strays – in the company of cats

Liz describes several encounters with a black leopard visiting
the farmyard where she and her husband feed the farm cats. She
has been watched and advanced on by the large cat and is now
fully alert to its potential presence.  


On one occasion Liz noticed a small panther like cat dart out of
cover to catch up with the big cat, and realised it was a cub
rushing to its mother.   


Liz reports how the farm cats change behaviour due to the bigger
cats’ presence, and she explains how she and her husband adapt
their life, living in anticipation of their new stealthy
neighbours.
