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.

Still having odd things happen in Flickr this image has been tagged with Tiger and will not let me remove it ?.
Aside from Wild Dogs, the one species I was most hoping to see was the Leopard. In the end, we actually saw seven different animals - I would have been over the moon with just one!
Here's a couple of images from two individuals, taken in Erindi and Okonjima game reserves...

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.

To get rid of a lot of obstructions I unfortunately had to crop substantially. The leopard stayed stationary for only a few seconds before disappearing again. What it was staring at I don't know.
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!)
Another photo of the beautiful female leopard that ran alongside the road as we were driving along. We stopped the car and she came up beside the car and hid behind a bush and began watching some Impala on the opposite side. They spotted her and she decided to just sit and wait. There were no other cars around for quite a while, so a wonderful sighting where we had her to ourselves for photos.
Cethosia cyane, the leopard lacewing, is a species of heliconiine butterfly found from India to southern China (southern Yunnan), and Indochina.
Most species of butterflies have a male and a female that look alike, but the Leopard Lacewing, on the other hand, do not. When the male and the female butterflies of the same species do not look alike, this is called sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphism occurs in several species of butterflies. One reason that the male butterflies are brighter is because they are constantly flying around to find mates so they need to be able to attract the attention of the female butterflies. The female butterflies tend to move very little until they are mated. The male Leopard Lacewing has orange on the inside of its wings. The male also has brighter colors on the outside wings, while the female’s inside and outside wings appear white or yellow and are not as bright.

Male leopard walking by a slightly inclined dirt road in the reserve directly in front of our jeep located at the bottom. He traveled down the road for quite a distance before swerving off into the bush. I was quite fortunate to see this male because our jeep was the only one present during the encounter.
