Eye of the Leopard

Caught the back end what looked to be a fantastic doc last night, Eye of the Leopard (2009) on National Geographic channel. The narrative followed a solitary leopard, Legadema in Africa for three years from birth, to adulthood. The footage was shot by husband and wife team Dereck and Beverly Joubert who have lived in Africa for over 25 years and have spent the last three years following Legadema. The film captures some truly remarkable and at times astonishing events as the cub's relationship with it's mother fades and Lagadema has to learn skills of hunting and surviving alone. Will defiantly try and check out some more of the Jouberts' work as they have particular focus on the plight of African big cats.
