This is the three month old male Leopard cub, the same one I had posted playing with Mum's (Mom's) tail, his sister was with Mum. The female had killed an Impala the previous night, hidden it in the bushes and then brought it out the following afternoon to feed on, even then it had a strong aroma.
This cub had had his fill and was fascinated by the flies attracted by the carcass in the BKG. The flies had an incredible iridescence to them, as per the one of the cubs ear.
