To positively identify leopards you need images of both sides of the leopard
Taken from the Cape Leopard Trust Website:"All leopards have a unique pattern of spots, which we can use to identify different individuals from camera trap photographs. Unfortunately, the two flanks of the leopard are not symmetrical, meaning that we need to get two simultaneous photographs of both sides of the leopard to be able to confidently identify it from either side in future. We use the photographs to develop an identikit for each leopard, allowing us to get a basic idea of their movements by plotting the locations where they are photographed on a map."
Thanks!I thought you cannot tell if its a leopard if you can't see both sides!
