In the seventeenth century, leopards were hunted out of South Africa’s West Coast region. 170 years later, they seem to have returned. A small group of seven leopards have been spotted in the region north of Cape Town, including two cubs. Conservationists suggest that fewer livestock farmers and more eco-estates and conservancies have made the region more attractive to the big cats.
