i saw the show of eye of a leopard and i was truly fascinated by how the wild kingdom's different leopards react to mistakes
i was surprised the mother would treat her cub that way!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope this blog continues for years! Legadema truly touched my soul!
I recently viewed "Living with Big Cats", a delightful follow-up of last year's "Eye of the Leopard".
I was surprised that this program didn't show Legadema's cubs, since the April, 2007 National Geographic magazine article spoke about them.
This blog photo apparently does not include one of her cubs . . . or does it? Forgive me if I don't know which leopard is Legadema. Can the Jouberts tell us if Legadema lost her cubs?
I also wonder if Legadema's mother successfully raised her own new cubs.
Beverly -
Thank you very much for your kind words about the blog - we will keep it going as long as we can! As for Legadema, the Jouberts are currently shooting their next documentary and are a pretty inaccessible at this time. But when they are back here at the channel we will try and answer your question. All the best Beverly.
Would like to know what is the foliage that is in front of the leopard that was taken on April 7, 2007, it is imposible to see would like to know please
Thank you

To Renata:
My name is Gabriela and I live in South Africa. My home is situated in a village near Hluhluwe/Umfolozi Game Reserve (The Big 5!!!), and Isimangaliso Wetlands (World Heritage Site). There are plenty leopards here for you to see! As well as elephants, buffalo, lions, many species of antelope, black and white rhino, girraffe, etc. You'll love it here. Buy that ticket!
Regards, Gabriela
Greg Chapman, since the Jouberts are back in contact with the National Geographic Channel now, please request of them to answer my questions above about Legadema in this June 21, 2007 blog. -- Thanks with much appreciation
Watched this documentary when it first aired a year ago and still am unable to get it out of my mind. I can see how the Jouberts found it difficult to move on to another project. Absolutely captivating & touching. Without a doubt, Legadema's story is one that you just can't put down.
