The cat knew exactly where the bothering stick came from :shock:

Talking about the Leopard incident above ..My very good friend the late Bruce Bryden (Ex Shingwedzi and Chief Ranger of Kruger ) his son Robbie who I think still guides in Kruger was attacked today . Robbie managed to kill the cat before it did real damage to him ..Be careful out there

Just a bit shaken @ Alf ..He sent me a Whats app and could hardly talk ..Leopard looked in Good Nick from the pic ..looked like it happened next to a structure Shade covered parking .....Staff Village ??????? His Dad the legendary Bruce had far worse like the time when he was stationed at Shingwedzi and Robbie was a pre schooler and Bruce sped over a the crest of a cutline No Entry road on his Scrambler Motor Bike Un armed and straight into a huge pride of lion ..He fell off his bike in fright and for about a minute apparently both parties stared at each other wide Eyed at what had just happenedat CLOSE distance with Bruce lying dead still on the ground too ..The Lions blinked first and left the scene at a trot..Bruce true to form dusted himself down and proceeded on his merry way :shock: :shock: :shock:
