A Breathtaking Relationship Between Man and Cat

This entry was posted on 04 September 2012.

Human emotion and animal instinct meet poignantly when two six-week-old leopard cubs become the charge of 22-year-old game ranger Graham Cooke at Londolozi.

Staying with the cubs in an unfenced bush camp surrounded by lions, hyenas and other leopards, he must first gain their trust before he begins to guide them towards release in the wild. It takes weeks of patience and gentleness for Graham to be accepted into the cubs’ small family unit and to find ways of communicating with the young leopards as he slowly begins to introduce them to their new environment.
