Description

This striking photograph, captured by dedicated Ingwe citizen scientist Sharron Hoffmann, features the magnificent female leopard known as Xidulu. Sharron is a valued supporter who regularly contributes vital sighting data to our program.

Xidulu's story is one of successful establishment in a challenging landscape. Born in 2014 within the renowned Londolozi Game Reserve, her name, Xidulu, fittingly means "termite mound." Following her dispersal, she successfully navigated the fiercely competitive territory dynamics to establish a large, dominant range across the western sector of the Sabi Sands Game Reserve.

Size: 800x600mm

Unframed and all shipping, tax and tariffs will be the responsibility of the buyer.
