Meet Legadema, the lone surviving leopard cub in Mambo's Okavango Delta. At the time of our safari, she was just turning 2 years old.  I am so amazed that I actually got pictures of this particular leopard!  What are the odds??  You can identify her by the small round mark on the right side of her face, in her whisker line.  Dereck and Beverly Joubert have been tracking Legadema since she was just 8 days old and have recently created a documentary special called Eye of the Leopard that was featured on the National Geographic channel. Additionally, the April issue of National Geographic has a feature story about the movie, book and adventure of Legadema.  Check out these links:
