“The Moment A Tiny Leopard Cub Hugged Its Mother ” !!!
Pulling wild faces was just enough for this baby leopard cutie to scare away a pack of ruthless jackals.
Travelling the wilds of the African bush this little leopard family of a mum and two cubs ran into a SPOT of bother in the shape of greedy jackals looking for their next meal.
Mum managed to grab one of her cubs in her mouth leaving its brave but pint-sized sibling to fend for itself while she carried the cub to safety.
But with striking blue eyes and a fierce display of big-cat prowess its mother would be proud of the little lone leopard was able to keep the cowardly jackals at bay until help could arrive – in the shape of one angry mother. The cubs were re-united by mum and they carried on their journey.
Photographers Michel and Christine Denis-Huot, from France, captured the heart-warming moment while travelling through the Masai Mara wildlife reserve in Kenya
The leopard cubs had been playing happily before the jackals arrived
Moving on: But the family were forced to move on when a pair of jackals started paying the tiny cubs too much attention
‘We were following a leopard mother with her two young cubs,’ said Christine, 60.
‘The cubs were so cute playing with each other as well as with their mother.
‘As soon as she began to walk the jackals were following her.
‘She managed to take one of the cubs in her mouth and the other one was walking.
‘Sadly the last cub was tired and had to stop in the long grass.
Hiding: Unable to keep with the pace, the cub not being carried by it’s mother stops to rest and hide int eh long grass, but it’s steely blue eyes give it away
Confrontation: It’s not long before one of the jackals spots the tired cub
‘The jackals stopped too and became more and more aggressive.
‘The cub had to fend them off by making as much noise as possible and look aggressive.’
The scene lasted about three minutes before the cub eventually escaped.
Leopards are one of the top predators of the Masai Mara
Surrounded: The tiny leopard cub makes as much noise as he can showing his tiny teeth at the predators
Brave: Even at such a young age the little leopard confronts the jackal and tries to scare it off
Fearless: The little lone leopard was able to keep the jackals at bay until help from its mother eventually arrived
Safe at last: once the lone cub was rescued by its mother the family unit was reunited and could relax again at last
Heart-stopping: This is the moment a tiny leopard cub hugged it’s mother after escaping a scary solo encounter with two hungry jackal!!!!

Impressive Image of ISS Passing in Front Of Moon !!!!!
While testing his new telescope a Romanian astrophotographer managed to capture clear images of the International Space Station passing in front of the moon, in broad daylight.
And the snap makes Nasa’s space station look remarkably like the iconic USS Enterprise from TV show Star Trek.
Maximilian Teodorescu was testing the range of his new 150mm f/12 Maksutov telescope near the town of Dumitrana in Romania earlier this month when he took the shot.
This shot of the International Space Station as it crosses in front of the moon was taken by Romanian astrophotographer Maximilian Teodorescu. It bears a striking resemblance to the USS Enterprise ship from TV show Star Trek
The Starship Enterprise was one of the ships that featured in the Star Trek franchise. In the show, this NX-01 model was the first NX-class starship and was launched by the United Earth Starfleet in 2151
Teodorescu took the images on 15 June at around 6.17pm in Romania.
He posted the photos to his blog. Translated from Romanian, it reads: ‘A new ‘First-light’ or rather ‘First-photo’.
‘This time it’s a new instrument, a 150mm F/12 Maksutov.’
‘And what better topic for a first test if not the moon?’
He then adds he was surprised to see the International Space Station in transit so clearly.
He explains that the equipment used to capture the picture was Skywatcher 150mm Mak (F = 1800mm), Canon 550D, ISO 800, 1/1250s.
The angle of the International Space Station (ISS) in Teodorescu’s images bear a striking resemblance to the USS Enterprise starship from the TV show Star Trek.
The ISS first launched into space in 1998 and since the arrival of Expedition 1 in November 2000 the station has been continuously occupied.
Teodorescu used an 150mm f/12 Maksutov telescope to take this image of Nasa’s space station. He wanted to test the telescope’s range so took these images in broad daylight near the town of Dumitrana in Romania
It is currently the longest continuous human presence in space and in 2010, the station broke the previous record of almost 10 years -or 3,634 days – held by Nasa’s Mir station.
It has been visited by astronauts and cosmonauts from 15 different nations.
One of its most famous inhabitants was Commander Chris Hadfield from Canada who regularly tweeted images and videos from the station.

Wrong Approach ….But Perfect Landing … Miraculous !!!
A pilot narrowly averted tragedy thanks to his quick thinking actions that saw him save the plane from crashing into an apartment block.
The plane, a Beechcraft Super King Air 200, was trying to land at Chicago Executive Airport in Illinois when the aircraft lost control just half a mile from the airport.
The pilot was able to angle the plane away from the Foxboro Apartment complex and even managed to land upright.
Disaster averted: The pilot reported a problem to the tower just before the Beechcraft Super King Air 200 crashed a half-mile short of the airport, according to airport officials
Escape: The pilot was able to walk away from the crash with just a few bruises and scratches. Nobody on the ground was injured
Miraculous: The Mayor of the town of Prospect Heights, Illinois, called the plane crash a ‘Godsend’ expressing his surprise that nobody was hurt
Incredibly, the pilot, the plane’s only occupant, was able to walk away, although he was transported to Glenbrook Hospital in Glenview with minor injuries.
‘Normally those planes come over the lake, and come down, but we saw it wasn’t going to come down where it was supposed to,’ said 11-year-old Jakaila Johnson. ‘We ran inside the house and screamed, ‘A plane crashed!’ . . . We thought it might blow up.’
An unusual sight: Locals began to gather to see the plane that looked as though it had been parked next to a group of cars!!!
Airport Manager Dennis Rouleau said the pilot reported a problem to the tower just before the crash.
‘To develop a problem and then put it down on the road instead — it could have been a lot worse,’ Rouleau said. ‘It could have been in some buildings, but he was able to put it down on the street to avoid injuries to himself and people on the ground.’
‘There was a fair amount of damage, but for what he did, the airplane was pretty intact for landing short of the runway,” he said. “He did a spectacular job of avoiding homes and cars.’
The mayor of the small town of Prospect Heights where the plane came down called the incident ‘a Godsend.’ ‘I think we’re very fortunate to have an airplane accident that was a walkaway situation,’ said Nick Helmer. ‘It’s very fortunate that nobody was hurt — either on the ground or those in the air.
