Revisited image, reprocessed. Captured with a 50mm lens so I was pretty close to her. The very focused Puma is Viktoria - Photographed in 2018 at Big Cat Sanctuary

Atara, North Chinese Leopard photographed at Big Cat Sanctuary, Kent, UK

Endangered and on the IUCN red list...These are the rarest breed of Leopard left in the world.

There are only 2500 North Chinese Leopards remaining in the wild in highly fragmented ranges.

This leopard was high up a tree and peering through the branches and leaves looking out for prey.

Taken at Masai Mara National Park, Kenya.

Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated...

Happy Caturday

Whilst jungle cats are listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, they are still mainly threatened by destruction of wetlands, trapping and poisoning.

This guy is behind some thick glass in low light at the zoo. So was happy how this one turned out with those obstacles. Zoo photography at times is very challenging with light and man made obstacles to deal with.

I hope everyone enjoys this image!

Final moments of relaxation before this beautiful cat jumped out of the tree and went out to hunt (unfortunately I didn't witness that part).

This male had been in a fight with the male in the image

" Lions, a mating pair " shown in the first comment box and posted 2 weeks ago. This one was lost the fight and had some injuries, mainly on his back.

During the 3 days that I was in the area he kept on following the mating couple

Vor ein paar Tagen war ich noch einmal im Wildpark. Die Bedingungen im Vergleich zum Spätsommer / Herbst haben sich mächtig geändert, aber eröffnen auch neue Bildmöglichkeiten.. Wie auch in diesem Fall hier: Durch die lichte Vegetation kam die Sonne schön tief von der Seite und hat den Luchs angeleuchtet, der Passend auf dem Baum posiert hat.

A couple days ago I've been to the wildlife park again. As the leaves have fallen there have been very different circumstances to take pictures than in summer. The sun lit this tree here nicely low from the side and the lynx posed nicely on it.

The cutest lion babies playing 'learning to be lions' Panthera leo

Always a delight when you spot a snoozing Leopard, a double delight when it stirs.

Listed as Vulnerable in the IUCN Red List and thought to inhabit only a quarter of its historical range: this one on the Masai Mara, Kenya.

This cub was posing well on the moss covered stones and looking at me (or rather my camera)

This was one of my favorite encounters with a wild big cat. With our boat on the river bank facing the forest, we watched as this adult female jaguar made her way down the tree trunk towards the boat. It was my turn to sit in front, so I held my breath as she stopped just a few meters from where I was sitting and eventually laid down. Her two nearly grown cubs would eventually join her. We were blessed to be able to observe the family for quite some time as they interacted with each other in close proximity to our boat.
