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 03:40Posted

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