Thinus Delport, 64, captured the rare moment a mother leopard relocated her two cubs at the Kruger National Park in South Africa

The mother appears first and patiently waits for her cubs to follow her across the road but has to turn around as they run back into the bushes to safety

Mr Delport said he jokingly asked his daughters to sing to encourage the animals out of the bushes where they were hiding and to his amazement it worked

Despite a few setbacks, and one of her cubs deciding to have a rest in the middle of the road, the three leopards all make it across safely and disappear again
