PPP

In the animal kingdom, juvenile & sub-adult individuals engage in play fighting to achieve various physiological & mental advantages, including enhanced muscular strength, refined coordination, and overall physical performance optimization.

We hope that your week hasn't been as busy as his!! The Primate and Predator Project wishes you a restful week-end😊

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.
