Claiming her dwelling as a resident female.
I have no doubt that Ntombi will be came one of the most view female leopards of the Kings Camp area in the future. She is fast becoming a frequently sighted leopard as she frequents the northern part of Kings Camp.
One of the most common spots is a dam located north east of the camp. At this moment it seems to be overlapping with the older and more powerful Rockfig leopardess. Rockfig leopardess has a very young cub and I think she will move her cub to saver ground if the overlapping area becomes unstable.
I took these images of Ntombi as she marked her territory on a dead tree. She was so close that I had to zoom out get this unusual shot of her. Notice the long whiskers.
