A total of 20 vehicles are provided for converting. The weapon system is adapted for firing HE ammunition.

Archived from the original on 8 December A quick turn of the tail, a change of direction, and the male leopard gains some precious yards from under the huffing breath of the lioness…and finds a hole in a shrub to duck into and disappear as leopards do….

    Breathing a sigh of relief, we realise that the tense situation has been resolved without further bloodshed — and the lioness has even scattered the leopards and possibly ended their blood feud for the day. She walks down the hill, plonks down on a termite mound, and proceeds to roar out her victory to the valley below. Perhaps she was nursing cubs in the thicket where she emerged from? She was still a fair distance away from where Scar and the rest of the pride were camped out.

    Upon closer inspection of the photos it does look like she might have had some swollen teats certainly not at the stage where she would be intensely nursing for most of the day, so perhaps the cubs were a bit bigger? Perhaps the noise of the brawling leopards just alerted her to possible danger and intrusion of competing predators in her space and she wanted to get rid of them? Whatever her reason was, we knew we had witnessed something special — a rare sighting indeed. I made sure that all the guests who were with us 2 of the Wild Eye vehicles were together for this brief sighting understood how rare and special this was.

    In my 30 odd years of regular safari all over Southern African and for the last 4 years also East Africa , this was a first for me. The setting against the hillside was perhaps not ideal for award-winning photography, but what it did provide was a front-row seat to the action, a vantage point and angle of view from which we could see the whole episode play out in all its glory. In cases like this, it really is about having a rare quality sighting and being able to see the whole tale unfold.

    So often we have to guess and assume what happens when sightings like this happen in dense bush or too far away from us. From here we could still go on and enjoy all that the Mara Triangle had on offer — it was the Great Migration season after all!

    The last batch for the German army totalling 75 tanks was produced from January to March So often we have to guess and assume what happens when sightings like this happen in dense bush or too far away from us. Retrieved 15 December The programme was developed within the frame of collaboration decided in between the Defence Ministries of both countries, in which also was included the cession of use by a period of five years of Leopard 2A4 from the German Army to the Spanish Army. The modernised first batch can be recognised by the circular plate covering the hole where the cross-wind sensor for the fire-control system was removed. It worked as it should.

    I hope you enjoyed this tale! Remember, you have to be out there as much as possible to improve your chances of seeing things like this play out. Wish I had joined you in the mara as well! And wonderful story telling too! Thanks Vikram — yes it would have been awesome having you there.
