John Olewicz, Mums Tolerance (ANIMAL & NATURE 2025)

I had the opportunity to watch this mother and cub leopard early one morning in the Masai Mara, they started off tender and loving until the cub really started to give mum some what for for over 30 minutes, as you can see mum's tolerance eventually ran out when the cub bit her in a delicate spot. This was a marvelous 45 minutes of viewing these beautiful cats relaxed at play.
