Sanctuary Retreats are thrilled that female leopard Mmadinotsi has given birth to a healthy cub near Sanctuary Stanley’s Camp in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. The leopard cub is around one month old.
The guides were so shocked when they came across the cub and its mother that they reversed the 4×4 into a beehive, causing the bees to swarm and then sting them. One of the Sanctuary guides tried to stop the bees with ‘peaceful sleep’ spray but ended up spraying it in his eyes instead! So the guides decided to name the leopard cub ‘Peaceful’ and her mother ‘Mmadinotsi’, which means ‘Miss Bee Hive’.
