Lord of the moonless night.
I don't suppose I'll ever get this close to a wild leopard again.
He had been cat-napping in the warm rays of the afternoon sun when we found him. Ben (our guide) gently positioned our vehicle adjacent to a nearby grassy mound and we waited. Having decided we were no threat the cat climbed the mound and sat down almost at eye level with me. He avoided eye contact but was otherwise totally relaxed and indeed seemed deep in thought.
There was no-one else around to share this experience.
