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 (60) and Christine (59) Denis-Huot from France captured the heart-warming wildlife moment while travelling through the Masai Mara wildlife reserve in Kenya
