Cat got you're tongue?

This captivating image features the legendary Umfana, a powerful male leopard. Perched regally in a Maroela tree, he pauses to meticulously groom a paw, his gaze locked directly with the camera. His piercing eyes, a window into his keen awareness, hold a depth that speaks of experience and power. (2006-2019)

Umfana carries a special significance – he was the very first cub born to the renowned N'thombie leopardess, featured in the iconic "Totem Pole" image. This photograph captures not just a magnificent predator, but a living legacy, a testament to the enduring cycle of life in the wild.
