Longing for Leopards

Leopards are such beautiful creatures.

This is a documentary on Netflix, so you can see it there for yourself. We follow Mochima, a female leopard, as she gives birth to two cubs, and then spend a few years following the new family. She has a daughter and a son, and they are quite different, and it's a question as to whether or not they'll grow up enough to be independent leopards, so if nature will be as nature will.

They really are beautiful, whether loping along, stalking, taking down prey, eating raw meat... such a delight to watch. And we get to see them, and some the crew who feel like the cats are now a part of their lives.

It's a great watch if you like leopards (which I do), but I perfectly understand that they would take me out without pause if I got in their way.
