Living with Leopards

"Living with Leopards" offers a captivating glimpse into the world of these elusive predators. Following two leopard cubs from infancy to adulthood, the documentary provides a heartwarming and educational look at their development and the challenges they face.

Nature lovers will appreciate: 1) Stunning visuals showcasing the leopards' habitat and hunting techniques.

2) An intimate portrayal of the mother-cub bond and the cubs' playful antics.

3) Insights into the threats leopards face in the wild.

While not perfect: 1) The focus on just two cubs might leave some viewers wanting a broader view of leopard life.

2) The narration could delve deeper into the scientific aspects of leopard behavior for a more well-rounded experience.

Overall, "Living with Leopards" is a delightful and informative documentary perfect for families and anyone with a soft spot for these magnificent creatures.

I am writing this review to hopefully give some appreciation to everyone involved in this project. It was a great honour to get a glimpse of leopards' lives.

Following this family was fascinating experience. I wished it could be a longer, or at least 2 part series given the crew spend months following this family.

The quality of the footage really surprised me, lovely narration with sentimental notes. The combination give a feeling of being a part of something special. Breath-taking African sunsets.

Now I wonder how the cubs are doing out there on their own. If they started their family, if they ever met again.

Absolutely loved this program. The dedication of these people is incredible. The photography was amazing, have never seen anything like it before. The only negative aspect was sometimes the accompanying music was a bit overwhelming and though I understand the purpose it actually took away from the commentary at times.

Otherwise this type of programming is just so wonderful and inspiring. Really makes you appreciate all living beings and the hope that one day everyone will feel like these people and become mindful of their daily activities to minimize the impacts that wildlife is subject to daily.

Seriously, I love animal docs especially David Attenborough etc. Now I have this giant 99lb rescue mutt that loves them too. However, I cannot imagine how production and the crew feels while having to let nature take its course etc. Many times during docs like this I have to fast forward through the deaths- not predatory deaths but others. I am so proud of the crews that follow these animals and teach us so much. I have learned so much from you all and I don't think k you get e tough credit. I know it hurts your hearts to have to just leave it to nature. Sadly, that is natural. Thank you all for giving your time to film docs like this. It means the world to me.xoxo.

The jazzy funky music destroys the beautiful filming, and the cameramen miss the best parts of the action every time. Something big is happening and it suddenly cuts to the aftermath. In particular, when the adult Leopard males engage in a fight. They film them engaging with each other, then completely lose them when they fight and cut to them just being wounded afterwards. They also miss the cheetah chasing the young male. 2 major points of the narrative completely missed by the cameramen. This shows how unprepared the film crew are. Shame, because it's generally filmed well when slow moments are occurring. The main issue for me, however, is the shocking choice of music which distracts you from the narrative and beauty. Whoever signed off on the funky pop music should be embarrassed. It would have been so much better if the music was more ethereal and intense. I just found myself getting frustrated by it.
