Wild dogs and Leopard

Wild Dogs Chase Leopard up tree (three times)

While on a visit to Okonjima (in Namibia and part of Africat) we went on several guided drives. In Okonojima many of the animals are collared, but not all are (thankfully) they have two dogs in this reserve, one of whom (jogi) has a collar. The guide had picked up the signal for Jogi and we went to one of the dams within the reserve where he hoped to find him. Upon arriving at the dam the dogs took off and I started shooting from the moving vehicle. Sherry shouted Leopard which I didn't initially see, but did get in the photo frame. A very pleasant surprise. The leopard it appeared had been watching the dogs from the dam wall, but on our arrival lifted his head was seen by the dogs and the rest is history. Three times while we were there the dogs chased this large male up three different trees. They would get tired of jumping and barking and start to walk away, the cat would come down and it was off to the races again. Please forgive the photo quality as we were shooting on the move and into the sun (I'll think up some more excuses later). Bottom line though is that you can see a large leopard being treed three times by two smallish dogs. I doubt we will ever see anything like this again so we hope you enjoy viewing them as much as we did taking them. As an aside, this was an unknown leopard and surprised our guide also.
