Marek - Sunday Training Ground: a male leopard at Cool Silence

  • AnLand by AnLand moderator

    More sites than Quiet Wood and Aged Violet have nice leopard footage and I’ve been lately looking into other sites to move the whole project a bit.

    Cool Silence does not have that many leopard clips, but let’s try one proposal for the Sunday Training Ground!

    I don’t get a really good screenshot from the leopard in ACP000251i but I think that it might be the same individual as the male in the longer sequence in ACP0002imw / ACP0002imx / ACP0002imy / ACP0002imz and ACP0002inc / ACP0002ind / ACP0002ine / ACP0002inf and ACP0002ink / ACP0002inl / ACP0002inm / ACP0002ino

    What do you think? I concentrated on the pattern of the left hind limb.

    So, any more opinions here about this match proposal? For those who don't want to watch all videos from the longer sequence in January, you could also just compare: ACP0002inf and ACP000251i.

    I am still quite convinced about the matching pattern on the left hindlimb, but also similarities on the tail rosettes and the right hindlimb.

    Sorry, Anja, I haven't seen that post before.
    Yes I agree on the match although it's quite tough to compare given the different angle, but I still found enough proof. 😃

    Thanks for weighing in!

    To move forward here, I asked our moderator @ksigler for a name for this male leopard and she has chosen Marek! Thanks a lot Kristeena!
