Leopard

We saw our only Leopard on the trip sleeping in a tree in Ndutu National Park. The head of an antelope was wedged slightly below. Leopards drag their kills up into trees so that other predators such as Lions and hyenas will not steal them. This Leopard's front legs and tail hung straight down. The enormous paws each have four visible claws, which look like toes covered in leopard skin. The Leopard also has an additional claw on each front foot. Leopards are mostly nocturnal, and we were warned in a couple of places about going out at night.
