Thanks Doogs. Great find. The only problem I see is she was reported to have 2 cubs and all the pics only show one. Hopefully it's just out of sight.

You're welcome Ronnie.

I couldn't remember if it was one or two she had. I too hope the other one is fine and just not in the pictures

I hope the other one is just not in the pics too Doogs. I can't get over how good she looks for her age! Still a beautiful girl!

Ronnie

**Doogs** Mon Jan 16, 2012 10:44 pm

She certainly is Ronnie - she looks fantastic and to have cubs at her age is just amazing Like a Star @ heaven

Thanks great find Doogs, as Ronnie says She really does look well for her age. Fingers X the other Cubs OK

I just read a post on Jonathan Scott's blog that BOTH cubs were photographed today!! Info comes from Kicheche Camps on BIGCATFANZ FB page. You all are far more connected than me so I hope a confirmation comes soon, but this is great news as I see it! I just hope she can get these cubs to maturity. At her age she's got her hands full but I reckon if anyone could do it it would be Zawadi!

Fantastic to see Zawadi and her cub and she is one amazing leopard. Off for a search for more information now, thanks Doogs and Ronnie for all these updates and news.

Hello everyone. I found this link posted on J&A's website in responses. The info is now pouring in so I've been checking alot.

It looks as if there is only one cub, but what a cutie! Now if Zawadi can just raise the little thing to maturity.

Thats brilliant Ronnie, sad about the other Cub, but fingers X, with one she'll be able to get it through to maturity

Great find Doogs! More great photos, and confirmation that Jonathan has found her. I'm sure there will be a big update from him coming soon. I can hardly wait!

Ronnie

**Doogs** Sat Jan 21, 2012 12:29 pm

Yes, hopefully Johnnie will update his blog soon with some info.

Good to know that she only had one cub so she hasn't lost one Zawadi (aka Shadow) 71418

Hi everyone. Paul Kirui has posted 4 more pics that he took today of Zawadi and her little one. I really like the second one the best. It looks like the Little One is hugging his mom!

WS sorry for the short quick post earlier, today was my work Saturday and I always seem to push it to the last second. I decided to check the posts before heading out and barely made it on time. It's funny though as I started to do it the other day and got side tracked by all the info coming in. Again thanks.

No problem Ronnie, work comes first, I saw on FB earlier that Paul was waiting for Zawadi to come out, and just as he started posting he said she was coming, and had to go. Just checked the Blog affraid

phew that was a bit dicy with the Hyena, great that the Cub had the sense to climb up the tree

That's such a lovely photo of Zawadi in the early morning light Cool

Updates coming in thick and fast at the moment re Zawadi and all the big cats. Jonathan's blog has over 82 replies to his post, information everywhere!
