- The Tamboti female's young cub takes on his father, the Camp Pan Male Leopard, in a game of rough and tumble at Londolozi Game Reserve, bordering the Kruger National Park in South Africa. This is an extremely rare sighting of three leopards togther - a father, mother and their young daughter. Filmed by: John Varty
What a beautiful sighting, I never knew male leopard fathers occasionally played with their cubs like that. Male tigers have also been documented visiting and playing with their cubs in the wild, but I never knew male leopards did this too.
hi
What a wonderful sighting, truly unique! It is very, very rare to see a male leopard play with his cub, and to have all three (mother, father & cub) interacting was a miracle to witness! Thank you for posting this fantastic sighting.
you here?
A rare sight...usually is the mother the one always with the cubs...father's always missing...leopard males are not known to be doting fathers at all!! A very rare sight indeed to see mother, father and the kids together!!
Anson Hardie HA HA HAR! Yeap they are better than people...hehehe
+Salto DelPuma It's not that the fathers takes no part in raising the kids, it's that male leopards, just like for any other felin, spend many time patroling their territories, it's rare to capture them in the time they spend with their families. It's the same for tigers.
@@saltodelpuma7019 no they are not.
Ancient ULTRAMEN Learn from the Old punks well, that would go without being said. Simply, just to know londolozi has a YT channel, that is a step towards an individual who more than likely greatly enjoys viewing wildlife. I am more interested in the enthusiasm displayed as if said person has made a remarkable discovery... the reason the video was created was for the reasons provided by the comment.. lol "Everybody! Check it out! A video that includes a cub and his two parents in grassy part of Africa!
Thor Odinson and every other cat species. even male lioms spend just a fraction of the time lioness spend witj the cubs
It always amazes me how they know their child. Imagine knowing that your family is near because you can smell them. We’d never need paternity tests lol. Nature is amazing.
They can smell them?
it's so adorable to see Male leopard, Female and cub together.
Cuteness overload! It is really very rare to see the father around his girls. He doesn't wanna be bothered, though.
Leopard dad of the year!
Camp Pan was blessed. Nobody shot him and he didn't die fighting. He lived a good long life in the wild. I'm sure he died of natural causes.
Which leopard are you talking about?
@@hixiegirl the male leopard in this video.
Too sad that almost all animals have so short lifespans in comparation with us.
He died of old age.
The old Camp Pan, was a majestic leopard.
That's cool.I have never seen a Leopard father around his family ever.Glad I saw this video,father is usually out patrolling his territory after mating with the female.He usually takes no part in parenting or for that matter hanging around the female since Leopards are solitary like tigers.
DaveAllenSpeaks just recently tingana had been spending time with his son, Hosana. Also, Thandi brought her lil cub to meet tingana. Maybe things will progressively change with leopard standards & we can just throw that leopard guide book out the window.. 🍃🌾
@@brightnight1372 yes, you are right!🐾💞
A most unusual but beautiful sighting. That male Leopard was incredibly patient and tolerant with that young cub. I wonder if way way back in the evolution of Leopards, was there a time when they were far more social and lived in groups or prides like lions?🐾
No. Leopards always lived in nuclear families unlike lions who live in extended families.
Like sean said leopards have always been predominantly solitary cats with “nuclear” type families. This behavior we’re seeing isn’t unusual at all, tigers do it too. The territory of dominant males will often overlap with females they mate with even though they usually live apart aside from mating. As a result males will come to visit their cubs every once in a while and sometimes even watch them while the mother goes out hunting. We’re just gradually learning that more solitary big cats aren’t as disconnected from one another as once thought.
Such a beautiful family
Campan is probably my favorite male leopard of all time
Wow, you guys were so lucky to capture a truly rare event.
Mother to cubs : Don't disturb your father
The male is huge.
what is goimg om with the shutter cameras??? have we not gone digital yet? thered be no way id put up with that constant irritation if i were spending thousands on a safari
Beautiful family ❤
Wow! That was a first....a magical sighting, so grateful you were there to capture and share the moment with us.
Beautiful leopards. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing this video.
What a beautiful family
This happen often daddy with his cub tingana Duke of Djuma leopard hunt with son Hosana, also seen many times with his daughter tlalamba this happened often now it being tape great sighting I love when they allowed there father to get in involved he will come around often great sighting
That is truely amazing footage.
Stunning footage.
There is a tender side of father leopard after all!
This is very special. I have only seen father and son mating with same female and just a short video when a father meet his cub. So unbelievable exiting to see this. It just shows that nature can surprise you over and over again.
ChrisBell Mapogos you should watch Savage Kingdom Uprising, there is a part when a leopard father meet his mate and their son and even share his kill with them
@@pikppa cool. I watched some episodes of SK but I do not remember that! Could you please specify the name of the episode? Thank you.
What an amazing sight! Truly beautiful and very unique. Very rare. Those pictures are priceless! Thank You for sharing with me. Question: do leopards mate for life?
Unbelievable! 2 leopard cubs playing with daddy on video is historic! Thank you.
1 cub, another one is mum . They're total family 👪
That’s a big male. but we don’t usually see leopard males with their mate and growing cub. But would the father leopard be as warm towards a male cub of his that old? Big cat fathers are sometimes not so kind to their big cat male cubs.
@@rsb512 you're right but exception happens and its really glorious to see the bonding between them, thanks 😊
It’s remarkable. I’ve been watching videos on animals for decades and I have rarely ever seen a leopard father with a leopard cub having fun like this.
wow what a beautiful leopard and cub so love playful.. Thanks for the update and great video
Is it necessary for the cameras to be noisy?
Londolozi means business, they don't care about animals.
True, i quit watching stupid WE after Hukumuri was shot. So much #$ckin disappointment in em.
Awesome
The female cub looks to be about a year and a half old and it's nice to see her father playing with her. But would he do the same with his year and a half old male cub who he might see as competition in the next 6 months?
they look like theyre having fun. you should get outta the truck and play with them
Bad idea. Parents don't tolerate someone potentially dangerous near their children.
Francesco Brosolo no shit, u clearly didnt get it
@@heyoooooo
Hahaha!
Whaatttt
very cool video, and that father is quite huge lol.. Clearly shows difference betwee nfemales and males
Awesome video, laughed :)
Never seen a cub "fight" so much with it´s progenitors
2 male leopards disliked the video :)
That cub is like DADDY...GET OVER HERE AND PLAY WITH ME NOW!!!!
9 dislike = Hyenas
what a grumpy father haha
He was a asshole wasn't wasn't he
@@Coco-xw3wp what are talking about ???? LOL........
Imao
3:15 I never thought that leopards could bark....
At first glance I thought this was Mvula. Guess he's a call called "Campan" or something
2:30 that cub is annoying the hell out of her parents
It is said that a leopard cannot change its spots, but these are social cats or should I say leopards. The only question is if this is evolution taking place right in front of our eyes, or just a rare occasion of nature?
Even solitary animals sometimes meet their partners an little ones.
This isn’t really an evolutionary change we’re witnessing, it’s just that we’re gaining new insight into their behavior. Leopards are and _always have been_ solitary cats. It’s just that people think “solitary” = never coming into contact with one another outside of territorial contests and mating which isn’t quite correct. Solitary essentially means that they live and hunt alone. But since male leopards have territories that overlap with the females they mate with they’ll occasionally stop by and meet their own cubs.

That my daddy
It's weird to see those cats like that together.
Dad teaching ambush.
They just wanna, just wanna ... ~ Cyndi Lauper
It's not rare to see at all in the Sabi Sands, I've seen several males "babysitting" the kids lol.
Supungo que la joven es la hembra de la isla
