April 2007 HLARULINI MALE Location: NORTH-WESTERN TOULON, CHARLESTON, SOUTH-WESTERN FLOCKFIELD
(5 sightings) The Hlarulini male enjoyed a successful start to the month of April, with many good sightings. Unfortunately for him, during the middle of the month, he was seen to feed on a baboon close to the KK booms. The male was in some thick bush, and visual was poor. Rangers were alerted to some serious wounds on the male, once he moved towards the river. The cause of the wounds is much debated, and the seriousness of the wounds has led rangers to believe that he either had an encounter with another leopard, perhaps whilst appropriating the carcass. Others believe that the male did in fact kill the baboon, and during the fight, the baboon managed to injure the leopard with its long fangs and claws.

These animals have a strong immune system, coupled with a very high pain threshold, however time will be able to tell the outcome of this legend of Mala Mala.

目击(5次)
从hlarulini享受成功的果实到四月,有很多正面的目击。不幸的是,在本月中旬,他被发现试图捕食KK booms的狒狒。他在茂密的灌木丛视线很差。有一次他走向河边时护林发现他受了很严重的伤。伤口的原因是有争议的,和伤口的严重性使护林员相信,他曾与另一只豹子相遇,也许争夺过狒狒的尸体。其他人认为,他确实杀了狒狒,在战斗中,狒狒弄伤了豹子长长的尖牙和利爪。

无论哪种方式,在他的前腿的伤口,似乎伤到了骨头。在臀部有一个同样严重的伤口。这些动物有一个强大的免疫系统,具有非常高的痛阈值,但时间会告诉我们这个传奇花豹在马拉马拉的结果。
