Makwela, a resident female leopard

Wallys and Makwela mating

Mating in leopards is brief, but repeated at short intervals over several days

Makwela announces to Wallys that, for the moment, the passion is over

Wallys, with Makwela in the background, taking a breather

After Wallys chased Makwela from her kill, one of their feisty cubs insists on fighting her father for a share

These cubs are the product of the mating seen in tghe earlier photographs

Meanwhile one of her siblings, further down the same branch, keeps a wary eye on four hyaenas below the treeful of leopards

One of the hyaenas finds a fallen scrap from the leopard kill above

.... while the third cub, at the base of the same branch, exhibits classic displacement activity by apparently sleeping.
