Almost everyone on safari hopes for a glimpse of the charismatic
and elusive leopard. Chui was the first of a new generation of
leopards Jonathan Scott watched and photographed in Kenya's Masai
Mara Game Reserve in the 1970s and 1980s. He spent every available
moment watching and photographing Chui and her cubs, Light and
Dark, aware that he was only privileged to do so for as long as
they chose to remain visible. His classic account tells the story
of the mother leopard as a solitary hunter providing for herself
and her offspring. He records encounters with baboon, hyaena and
man, hazards facing the cubs as they learn to fend for themselves
and periods of play and relaxation. Some years after Chui
disappeared, a young female appeared, Half-Tail. Jonathan and
Angela have followed her and her daughter Zawadi, stars of the
BBC's Big Cat Diary, for the past twenty years, bringing the story
up to date. Nobody has studied leopards more closely or known them
more intimately Jonathan says: 'The update is based on our work
with Half-Tail and Zawadi from both the pictures and text
perspective - Angie worked with us on Big Cat Diary as the stills
photographer from 1996 and before that we both worked with
Half-Tail from the time she first appeared around Leopard Gorge and
Fig Tree Ridge - our kids grew up on safari with Half-Tail and
Zawadi as stars of their own Mara adventures.'
