Jilime the Acrobat! - a photo on Flickriver

During my recent trip to the Maasai Mara, we sighted Jilime, daughter of Luluka, late in the evening. Jilime is just over 2 years old and is turning out to be a successful Leopard in the wild having gained her independence from her mother recently.
Here is a photo of the her when she was just 3 months old and Luluka her mother was moving dens holding her in her mouth
We saw her late in the evening resting up a tree with a Black-backed Jackal barking at her from a distance. The next day she was resting in the grass below a tree with the Jackal hanging between the branches, having been hunted during the night.

Photographed during a photography safari on an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
