Rocky the leopard is a mother now
Remember Rocky ? Well our Rocky gave birth to a litter of two cubs sometime in the last few days. Today the jeeps have seen the mother playing with the young ones both in the morning and the evening (Just on the day I came back to bangalore on some work). All along when I’ve been seeing her large tummy, I assumed she had a good meal and was resting right after that. I can’t wait to trek through her area in the coming days. I really wish I can see her litter and hopefully get some shots of the cubs.
Rocky the name sounds like a male, maybe you should change it to something else! 😉
I think that the leopard in this pic is disturbed by the photographer.. is it u Kalyan!! Be careful..!! haha
This is when she was just resting and staring at me for more then half and hour. She got really disturbed when somone else in my jeep made some noise. You can see the disturbed her here
Hey cool.. Hope you get some good pics..
Looking forward to some really cute pics of even more cute leapord kids…. 🙂
Whats the average litter for leopards?
Anywhere from 1 – 4. Most of the time I think its 2 to 3 and usually only one of them makes it till adulthood.
so sweet …becoming mother
I stumbled across your lj. Glad I did. Kudos, Kalyan. You seem to have captured a surreal quality in your wildlife photographs. Looking forward to seeing some more the next time I ‘stumble’ across.
Cheers!
composition!!
very nice composition!! see if you can crop it a bit…the results may be intersting..great work!!
Re: composition!!
Actually this is a cropped version of the picture. the Original is amazing and I really cannot post it online as the leopard will be too small in it. You have to see the 20×30 print of it 🙂
is it ?
yup….
yup becoming a mother or being with (my) mother is one of sweetest & greatest things…
difference is with latter one u feel most “secure” & content .
Congrats Kalyan
did she say, “mein tumhari bache ki maa banne waali hoon”?
