is it a guy thing

or just Gol being Gol for the last few years since he has become mature and the dominant male in my group,Gol has taken to rushing at me almost like he wants to scare me off.the other cb leopards will approach me when they see me and if i am doing any work in their enclosure will walk over my feet getting in the way and generally being nosey.i just wondered if any other keepers experienced this with groups of adult leopards

these are some pictures of Gol with Mzuri a female and then he spots me down on their basking slab and rushes toward me.the vid(click to view) is of Gol in the enclosure when he sees me again and starts his attack right at the end little Blue leaves Flash's side to come towards me to be nosey.

first of all thanks all for looking.Paul he is a pussycat really ,he stops when he gets to me and circles around not sure what to do lol.i got him in 1996 as a hatchling and he was very active and bold as a youngster then as a young adult a little timid around the larger girls.about 3 years ago he started courting properly and the old confidence came back and now he rules with rod of iron my smallest adult male Blue has started courting with Flash when Gol is out of sight but soon vanishes when he appears. last year he caught him and rolled him so he is really sneaky now lol.i have some pics of him hiding in the pampas waiting for Gol to wander off so he can chase Flash.
