Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.

Taken at Southlakes Zoo in Cumbria recently. We managed to visit on a free entry day. Suppose we should have known why,because the day after the zoo lost it's animal licence and had to close temporarily. Conditions at the zoo were not good.

Daydreaming Leopard.

Yesterday we had 4 leopard sightings in Kruger National Park. We drove to Satara from Crocodile Bridge Gate and saw two leopards in trees and 2 leopards on foot over the course of the day. We saw this one running in a dry riverbed and it came up to the road and used a bush as cover while it was watching some impala. The impala became nervous and she knew she had been spotted, so she then laid down on the side of the road to wait for them to calm down.

We could spot this huge guy at Grootkolk Wilderness Camp in Kgalagadi. While we observe a brown hyena drinking at the waterhole, this guy come rushing up and chased the hyena away. A really good start on my birthday !

The leopard is a male called Kham and was first seen in 2011!

The endless variety of patterns in nature is fascinating but none is more iconic than this - a beautiful wild leopard sleeping in the Okavango Delta.

South Luangwa | Zambia

This is the beautiful female leopard, named Chiphadzuwa (from the local Chinyanja language, which seems to have various meanings including 'angel' and 'overpowering the sun'). Chiphadzuwa is the daughter of Malaika. I believe Malaika was around two and half to three years old when she had Chiphadzuwa. They stayed close up to the time Chiphadzuwa was about 18 months old, but as she started to become independent the relationship between mother and daughter became tense. Leopards are fiercely territorial so naturally Malaika wanted to hold her ground. We witnessed mini power struggles between the two back in October 2016. Chiphadzuwa is now around four years old and occupies the same territory her mother did. It appears she drove her mother out, or worse, as Malaika hasn't been seen for many months. Given this situation I find it quite incredible that you can actually see so many leopards in South Luangwa. Long may that continue.

We arrived at Motswari Private Game Reserve at 2.30 in the afternoon and were settled into our cabin. We were told to be back at the office at 3.30 if we wanted to go on the afternoon safari and of course we decided to go. An amazing experience and after only being on the safari truck for around 45 minutes we saw this beautiful leopard stalking some Impala.

Whenever we go to Africa we do not have much luck with Leopards, so I was very surprised to find this one in amongst the thousands of images that have not been published.

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR FAVS AND ESPECIALLY YOUR COMMENTS........TAKE A LOOK AT MY PHOTOSTREAM, FOR GENERAL PHOTOS OF NATURE AND WILDLIFE

The Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) is a leopard subspecies native to the Primorye region of southeastern Russia and the Jilin Province of northeast China. It is listed as Critically Endangered. In 2007, only 19–26 wild Amur leopards were estimated to survive.

Another photo from our best leopard encounter in Tanzania.

Unable to decide if I like the B&W (I think I do) better than colour, putting both out there for help. Taken before sunrise with a borrowed lens wide open on max ISO so more noise than I would have liked.

As I was far away, this is a crop of the center of the photo.

The photo was done in a forest, light was not so great but not too bad.

I was over the leopard on a bridge in the trees.

I'm not sure how many different leopards I've seen over the years, but it's a lot. However, although I've seen a couple feeding on a kill in a tree, this is the first time I've actually seen one on the ground carrying their prey.
