KNYSNA NEWS - SANParks confirmed the sighting of a leopard in broad daylight in the Diepwalle area of the Knysna Forest on May 2.
While it has long been known that the extensive forest accommodates these beautiful felines, most evidence made public were in the form of grainy photos, usually taken at night by motion detector cameras. SANParks’ recently released footage depicts a leopard in its full-colour glory walking on a dirt road in the forest.
Leopards are listed as near threatened on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are declining in large parts of their range.
