Hate it when I see vids on Instagram of big cats getting hit by cars. There was a video of these wild pigs mullering a leopard after it'd been hit by a car. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gilbey 1,445 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 On that recent 'Asia' program they were camera trapping persian leopards, they had steep cliffs, bombs, and a population of around two dozen cats to deal with. But they got some cracking pics of different males then eventually a female that looked pregnant, and later got her and the cubs clear as day, so it can be done. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Read a good article the other week by a biologist on trail cams to gather evidence on individual cats. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
