Have been neglecting my treasured leopards recently, time for some leopard love. This stunning gorgeous girl was having a rest on top of an ant hill on the plains of Sabi Sands , South Africa. She was giving us such an intense look and I found her eyes mesmerising - from a distance with a telephoto lens of course!
Happy weekend everyone, when it arrives in your part of the world. Highs of 24c and sunny here, perfect ☀️
This leopard was photographed in the Ndutu area of Tanzania with Todd Gustafson several years ago. Todd is a world class nature photographer and it was my privilege to go to Tanzania with him twice. This particular leopard was a female who took up a position on a fallen trunk of a tree, right at eye level. As we approached I kept pushing the shutter, expecting to have to stop once she showed any sign of discomfort. It never happened. We were able to stop very close to her where this image was taken. You feel like a very lucky person when something like this happens, a memory I'll never forget. It's what's special about photography. All the memories come flooding back.
Take care guys, Mike.
Kruger National Park South Africa.
Thanks for stopping by - big appreciation for your faves and comments.
Its muscular yet graceful stealth makes the leopard a prize sighting on safari, but it's not just spots that make for super-effective camouflage. The black form can be just as elusive in the bush, remaining unseen only a few metres away, the twitch of a tail is most of the time the only giveaway.
This leopard gives a perfunctory “buck-off” snarl, to something in a nearby bush.
Speed: ±58 km/h (Running)
Mass: ±30 – 91 kg (Adult, Male)
Lifespan: ±12 – 17 years (Satara,Kruger National Park, RSA).

I first had to follow and trace this young leopard, I think it is a female, for a considerable distance through extremely dense Mopani bush, disappearing completely from sight from time to time until she again re-appeared, stopped and made herself at home in front of a termite mound not far from the road side. It certainly was my lucky day!

With as few as 45 adults remaining in the wild, the Amur leopard is probably the rarest and most critically endangered big cat in the world. Habitat destruction, degradation and poaching of Amur leopards and their prey are persistent threats. Hunted largely for its beautiful, spotted fur, the loss of each Amur leopard puts the species at greater risk of extinction.
The Amur leopard is classified as Critically Endangered since 1996 by IUCN. Data published by the World Wildlife Fund indicates that there are roughly 50 adult Amur leopards in the wild today.
The Amur leopard is a leopard subspecies native to the Primorye region of southeastern Russia and the Jilin Province of northeast China. They live for 10-15 years, and in captivity up to 20 years. The Amur leopard is also known as the Far East leopard, the Manchurian leopard or the Korean leopard.
