Description: Young male leopard bravely stands up to an older female leopard. The older female leopard, Moya, was doing her territorial patrols when she came across the two younger sub-adult siblings, Shasha (left of video) and sister Langa (situated in the tree). Moya is not controlling much of this territory anymore and she is being pushed out by Sibuye (mother of Shasha and Langa). The young male leopard, Shasha, tried to stand up to Moya who fought back. After this initial fight, Moya continued to chase Shasha until she eventually gave up. Once the two siblings were further away from her territory, Moya continued on with her patrol.
