There is a battle brewing in the northern parts of Londolozi. The Emsagwen 6:4 Male Leopard is starting to extend his boundaries westwards into Marthly reaching out into the heart of the Marthly Male. We watch with interest as to whether anything will develop between these two brutes of the leopard world…
I personally have only ever seen the Emsagwen Male once but it was enough to make me realize that this was a very large individual who would be capable of taking on anything the Marthly Male could throw at him. Born in March 2003, Emsagwen is right in his prime. His coat is magnificent and his shoulders sit high and strong. Crafted muscles shape his body and pads the size of a lioness silently sneak around the riverbed of the Manyaleti.
I would love to see more of this gorgeous male but I know that along with these sightings will come drama. But is drama a good thing?
