Biyamiti Leopard

A young female approaches my car slowly after we stared at each other for over 20 mins in total silence about 14 years ago. I love gaining the confidence of large cats the PROPER non intrusive way. This was well before sunrise so there are no shadows ..Sadly with new abusive spotlighted night drives in Tourist hotspots being the new quick fix method of finding these cats who are now so habituated to vehicles and man and have literally given up being their normal elusive selves in these over exploited establishments ..The power of money at the expense of the big cats
