That smaller leopard looks too small and gracile even for a female cape leopard, besides the long fur suggests it's a cub. The coat pattern of the bigger leopard also does not match that of Titus, the leopard from your previous post . In fact even the top picture you posted I'm pretty sure is a different male, if you look closely the coat pattern is different from Titus. It isn't too difficult to identify leopards, you just have to compare the spot pattern which is of course unique to each leopard like human fingerprints. Edited by chui, Jun 13 2016, 01:35 AM.

The incredible moment a ruthless leopard killed a gazelle and dragged it up a tree to eat • Circle of life on the Tanzanian savannah captured by photographer • Leopardess dragged Grants gazelle into a tree on the Serengeti • Predator prepared dinner in the top branches before inviting her cub Showing incredible strength as she drags a gazelle up a tree by the neck, this leopardess proves that there is nothing a mother will not do to get dinner on the table. These images capture the moment a ruthless leopard kills a gazelle and drags the carcass up a tree before inviting her teenage cub to enjoy dinner al fresco in the top branches. The leopardess was seen chasing the Grants gazelle across the savannah of Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, before slaying it and grabbing it by the neck. Heavy lunch: A leopard was spotted dragging its prey up a tree on the Serengeti, Tanzania One step at a time: With astonishing strength, the leopard hauls the gazelle up the trunk by the neck Al fresco dining: The stunning leopardess drags the dead gazelle to a suitable spot After transporting her ‘Sunday roast’ to safety from other predators, the leopardess allows her cub to follow her up into the treetops where the pair ate the gazelle. The pictures were by Archna Singh, a hobby photographer from New Delhi, India. Archna said: ‘The leopardess looked beautiful, and as I sat there, happily taking as many pictures of her as I could, she surveyed the savannah. ‘When leopards make a kill, it is usually a tiring experience, and it was no different with this leopardess, who looked a little worn out after bagging the gazelle. ‘Her expressions, as you can see were mesmerizing.’ S-lay the table: The leopard is happy with its catch contemplates in which setting to invite its friend for dinner Prep work: Having slayed the Grants gazelle, the leopard grabs it by the neck and drags it across the savannah towards the tall tree Carry home the meat: The predator appears to ponder how to get the large Grants gazelle all the way to the top of the tree Come dine with me: A younger leopard, believed to be the cub of a hunting mother, looks longing towards the dinner presented at the top of the tree 'Dinner is ready!': The leopardess roars to the cub on the ground as she places the gazelle over a branch 'Wash your paws!': Even a leopard mother cares about her little ones' manners at the dinner table Munch time: The leopardess and her cub start enjoying the fruits of her labour - gazelle for dinner http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2607629/Taking-time-lunch-The-incredible-moment-ruthless-leopard-killed-gazelle-dragged-tree-eat.html if that was a 43kg leopard, wonder how much the antelope weighed.

Here, two adult male Leopards consort with a female in oestrous, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, South Africa. The two males are almost certainly territorial neighbours and ‘dear enemies ’- rivals who know each other and who chose to be tolerant when the costs of ﬁghting are high for both.
