Melanistic leopards (very dark brown) are commonly called black panthers. However, there is no such animal. The dark color, called melansim, is due to a recessive gene. Melanistic cubs can be born to spotted parent

The leopard is the most elusive and secretive of the large felids. They are extremely difficult to trace and locate in the wild. They run up to 58km/h and can leap 6m horizontally and 3m vertically.

Leopards are beautiful cats and what wildlife photographer wouldn’t love the chance to photograph them. However, they are usually solitary and unless you’re extremely lucky enough to find a female with cubs, or interaction between two adults, or a hunt (emphasis on extremely lucky) you generally are left with them walking through their range or sleeping. Add a tree, however, and things become more potentially photogenic. This leopard was walking through the Maasai Mara savanna when it quickly climbed a tree to gain a better view of potential prey or threats. We managed to get close enough in time to catch it coming down from the tree to resume its wanderings. (Panthera pardus) (Sony a1, 200-600mm lens @344mm, f/7.1, 1/1250 second, ISO 640)
There is sometimes a silver lining after a wildfire happens like the artistic textures on these burnt trees that caught my eye. Like the wildflowers that bloomed this summer that haven't been here in decades. Or that you can actually see the lake all the way around now from the walking trail. Something dies, then rebirth takes its place.

We found this beautiful young leopard lying some 10 meters next to the road and quite relaxed. We had this one for ourselves because passing cars did not stop and asked where we were watching at!!
This was one of two leopards we saw on my first night in the Serengeti. The second (a male) was also in this tree but much further up and very well hidden by the tree. It had caught a gazelle and the female in this photo was hoping the male might share.
This image was captured in the wild in the Kgalagadi.
(You might have noticed, this is the nth upload of this same leopard, but then again, she gave me so much pleasure and time to capture images of her!)
In this photo you can really see how the Leopards markings really help them blend into their surroundings.

Thanks to all who comment or mark as a favorite it really is much appreciated.
One early rainy morning we spotted this young male leopard sitting out near the road not far from camp! He was sitting in some bushes and just sat there and stared at us! I love this capture with his tongue out and I think it shows his youth! This photo was taken in the Olare motorogi conservancy in Kenya!
