Leopard vocals!

  • Snorticus by Snorticus

    Can some leopard scientists take a listen to this? Interesting series of noises. It's part of a series, @Corcaroli @jwidness and @AnLand found the beginning of it:

    ACP000glef ACP000gleh ACP000glej ACP000glel

    From Philipp Henschel of Panthera:

    Thanks for sharing. Sounds very interesting. Are there any vids that
    go with it, in which one can see the individual(s)?

    It could be a female with a cub, with the cub emitting the softer
    vocalizations, and the female responding with a low growl.

    I then mentioned there isn't more video and he replied:

    Ok, that's a shame. But it does really sound like a youngster and a
    mum arguing a little... That would have been nice to see!

    😄

    There is also at least one other leopard clip from that same night: ACP000glge

    I realized that there is a third sequence from this night ACP000gles - they are here quite long. The camera seems to be trashed from the beginning, but maybe we can get a glimpse. I ask myself what they are doing here so long. And whether it also could be a mating pair like ACP000f5cc - her vocalization is also much softer. I am also not sure whether the cub from December 2014 is too young for being here with mom six months earlier.

    So, we have:

    ACP000glge --> June 30th, 2014 21:51

    ACP000gles --> July 1st, 2014 02:58

    ACP000glef --> July 1st, 2014 03:40

    More camera trashing from the same night (June 30th, 21:38): ACP000gle2 / ACP000gle3 / ACP000gle4 / ACP000gle5 - nothing really seen.
