We remember the unusual case of a leopard lying in the nest of a hamerkop, cleaning itself. The yellow-black predator among the yellow-black birds in a huge bird nest.
The presence of not one, but two leopards, perched together in the treetops, was a spectacle that etched itself into the memories of all who witnessed it. “The act of mating occurred a little later,” noted another observer, emphasizing the exceptional nature of this sighting. Leopard pairings are seldom observed in the wild, adding an air of mystique to this remarkable event.
The Maasai Mara, renowned for its rich biodiversity and astonishing wildlife sightings, once again exceeded expectations. The melding of this extraordinary natural phenomenon within such a breathtaking landscape added an extra layer of enchantment to the moment.
“Unbelievable what the Maasai Mara has to offer,” echoed the sentiments of those fortunate enough to witness this unique spectacle. The vast savannas of Maasai Mara continue to surprise and enthrall, reminding us of the uncharted beauty and marvels nature holds.
We have never heard or seen of anything like this! A leopard lies relaxed in the nest of a hamerkop – surrounded by hard-working weaverbirds and their new nests. The big predator is cleaning itself and enjoying a moment of rest in a huge bird’s nest, while it is busy building and chirping around it.
