THE EYE OF THE LEOPARD 1

By Beverly and Dereck Joubert.

This is an astonishing book about the extraordinary life of Lagadema, a leopard at Momba. For two years, Beverly and Dereck Joubert have followed this leopard who has crept into their lives since the first day they found her at 8 days old.

The Joubert's are National Geographic's top rated wildlife filmmakers. Over the past twenty five years they have created and crafted some of Africa's finest wildlife documentaries. Their story of Lagadema is enthralling.

“We found her when she was 8 days old, and she seduced us with her blue eyes and determined character. She was the first surviving cub of a female who had lost five cubs in a row. Somehow this leopard was different, and that first day I think we recognised that.”
Beverly Joubert.

“If the eye expresses life and soul and what lives inside. Leopards are the eye of Africa, linked through a connective nerve directly to what this continent means and symbolises.”
Dereck Joubert
