First tweet: so it has to be a leopard, specifically the Phantom Female 🐆 from Pilanesberg 🇿🇦, my PhD is based on Leopard Ecology with Nottingham Trent University investigating if tourist photos can be used to estimate population density 📸🐆

'The proposed rhino sanctuary in Leuser will cover 100 hectares (250 acres) of an ecosystem that’s also the only place on Earth that’s home to rhinos, tigers, orangutans and elephants.' #SumatranRhino #EndangeredSpecies #RhinoConservation news.mongabay.com/2021/06/develo…

A new study suggests that if Europe planted trees across all the land suitable for reforestation, it might not only sequester carbon but also partially ameliorate the increasingly dry European summers predicted by #climatechange models, Jim Tan reports: news.mongabay.com/2021/08/refore…

WATCH: Springbok doesn't see the leopard behind the tree... It doesn't end well. We just received this sighting from Kgalagadi and had to share it! latestsightings.com/single-post/bu…

A great day for tourist sightings in Pilanesberg with three leopard sightings before 10am

This is Shamiso, a female with an older cub who was posing nicely today.

Excellent sighting of the Bontle female by Debbie one of the admin on our Leopards of Pilanesberg Facebook Group. Even on the quiet roads on the edges of the park you can have great sightings.

Cubs sighted after a long time since they where last seen suckling. Glad to know a healthy prey population is supporting the parks leopard population. Also great sighting for a potential new study 🤫

I’m so very thrilled to have won the Best Student Poster at the Mammal Societies Spring Conference. 🎉 Thank you to the Mammal Society, Richard Yarnell @antonio_uzal and Rob Davis for working with me on this and to everyone who helped make this poster a winner

It’s #internationalcatday so I can’t not post one of my favourite leopards and long running queen of the Pilanesberg Gem, Motsamai 🐆 instagram.com/p/ChDeFB4qdx8/…

Happy #InternationalLeopardDay , and a day to celebrate my PhD study species with Brackenhurst ARES. Im investigating an innovative way to monitor these elusive cats while showcasing the value of tourist images and citizens science using leopard photos from the Pilanesberg NP
