Amazing once in a lifetime experience of following a wild mother leopard back to her den of two cubs in a bramble of thorn bushes. This little curious approximately 10 day old cub wandered out of the thicket to check us out and then tried to scamper back into the den but got itself entangled in the branches. Mom picked it up tenderly by the scruff of the neck and tucked it safely back into the den, but paused to look at us just before laying down. © Christine Crosby/Sunlight Inspirations
