Cape Leopards continue to frequent Wines2Whales MTB Routes

There was a story in the Ride Mag a few years ago about a cyclist being chased by a leopard in the Knysna forest.... makes you wonder how often you ride past an animal like that without noticing?

 

They are masters at camouflage.

So are beautiful. And shy.

Sure beats the story about getting stung by a swarm of bees.

Amazing! I love to hear stories like this and to know they are out there. I think we as cyclists can contribute to this great organization and help them in their efforts to research these wonderful animals.

 

I got myself a MyPlanet card and The Cape Leopard Trust is my beneficiary. Just swipeyour card at Woolies (and other stores on the list) and a percentage of your purchases then goes to the CLT.
