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 ☀️

Thanks for stopping by - big appreciation for your faves and comments.
This black and white version of a snow leopard shows how well it can blend in with its environment. That beautiful coat is an ideal camouflage, especially in the snow of the high mountains where it is found in the wild.
Female snow leopard (Panthera uncia) named "Naphisa" born May 16, 2018 at Zoo New England and moved to San Diego to take part in the Snow Leopard Species Survival Program.

Los tiburones cebra (Leopard Shark en Thailandia) son nocturnos y pasan la mayor parte del día inmóviles en el fondo marino. Por la noche cazan activamente buscando moluscos, crustáceos, pequeños peces óseos y ocasionalmente serpientes marinas dentro de las cavidades y huecos de los arrecifes. Aunque son criaturas solitarias durante la mayor parte del año durante la estación de apareamiento forman grandes concentraciones. El tiburón cebra es ovíparo: las hembras depositan varias docenas de cápsulas de huevos, que aferra a estructuras subacuáticas con filamentos adhesivos.
Los tiburones cebra (Tiburon leopardo en Tailandia) son inofensivos y no representan una amenaza para los humanos, son muy populares en acuarios públicos y en excursiones de buceo. La World Conservation Union tiene catalogada la especie como Vulnerable en todo el mundo. La principal amenaza para la especie es la pesca comercial que se realiza en toda su zona de distribución (excepto en Australia) debido a su carne, aletas y el aceite de su hígado. En los últimos años las estadísticas sugieren que su población se encuentra en retroceso.
Zebra shark (Leopard Shark in Thailandia) are nocturnal and spend most of the day motionless on the seabed. At night, they actively hunt for mollusks , crustaceans , small bony fish, and occasionally sea snakes within the cavities and hollows of reefs . Although solitary creatures for most of the year, they form large aggregations during the mating season. Zebra sharks are oviparous: females lay several dozen egg capsules, which they attach to underwater structures with adhesive filaments.
Zebra sharks are harmless and pose no threat to humans. They are very popular in public aquariums and on diving excursions. The World Conservation Union lists the species as Vulnerable worldwide. The main threat to the species is commercial fishing throughout its range (except in Australia) for its meat, fins, and liver oil. In recent years, statistics suggest that its population is declining.
These little creatures are fascinating. This one is well camouflaged on this path as he makes his way after a passing rain shower. I think they are beautiful!
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...

The leopard is one of the four wild cats of the genus Panthera.
The African leopard, lion, elephant, Cape buffalo and white/black rhinos are also called the "Big Five".
The term was originally a hunting term for the greatest and most dangerous wild animals used by white hunters.
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.
