The Jouberts, National Geographic filmmakers and photographers, observed and photographed a baby leopard in Botswana over four-plus years. An evocative text and excellent photos follow Legadema's (which means "light from the sky" in Setswana) development as she learns climbing and hunting skills and eventually becomes mother to her own cubs. More leopard information and a photographers' note are appended. Reading list, websites.
