A Leopard during a hot day at Thoiry park (France).
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.

Our third major leopard encounter was with a lovely female African leopard Panthera pardus pardus). It was nearly 7pm and the light was beginning to fade, but she was still clearly visible lying on a branch. After a while she sat up and looked out beyond our vehicles. I think dinner was on her mind. She must have seen something because she suddenly bounded down the tree to the ground, walked a bit through the grass, and then disappeared.

Here's another from last month's trip to Denver zoo. I love Leopards. What a beautiful animal this guy is. Shot this with my 300mm f2.8 lens with a 2x converter, making it into a 600mm.
Brookfield Zoo's Amur Leopard, one of two that they have.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) is a leopard subspecies native to the Primorye region of southeastern Russia and northern China. It is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. In 2007, only 19–26 wild leopards were estimated to survive in southeastern Russia and northeastern China.[1] It is considered one of the rarest cats on Earth.[3]
As of 2015, fewer than 60 individuals were estimated to survive in Russia and China.[4] Camera-trapping surveys conducted between 2014 and 2015 revealed 92 individuals in an 8,398 km2 (3,242 sq mi) large transboundary area along the Russian-Chinese border.[5] In 2019, it was reported that the population had increased to about 90 leopards.[6]
This is one of three leopard sightings we have seen so far on our trip in Africa. I took this photograph this morning in South Africa. We tracked the leopard for about an hour and a half, and had an amazing opportunity to see the leopard walking on the ground and then going up into a tree, where it sat nicely for us to get a "glamour shot." The leopard is absolutely beautiful.
This last African leopard (Panthera pardus pardus) sighting of the trip. This large animal was briefly spotted entering thick brush as the light was fading. Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya, Africa. Conservation status: Vulnerable
Amur Leopards are the most endangered big cats on the planet. It's thought there are as few as 30 of them left in the wild and there are only 100 in captivity. I was very privileged, therefore, to be close to this beautiful animal at the Wildlife Heritage Foundation in Kent yesterday during one of their wonderful photographic days. Huge thanks to Lillian for organising the day.
I will probably be posting quite a few more images from this day, often of the same animals, so please don't feel obliged to comment on them. I completely understand that there are only so many ways you can say 'beautiful cat'. :)
This photo, taken by my wife happened at 7:00 in the morning on the S25 near Marloth Park. Not bad for A D3100.

So in the time I had to kill between waiting for the train back to London yesterday, I decided to go to the Menagerie De Zoo ~ Jardin Des Plants, in the centre of Paris as ya do & I was rewarded by being able to capture the North Chinese leopard...it was a good day.:)
Have a great Tuesday Y'all..:)
This young lady allowed Todd Gustafson and I to approach closer and closer, using shorter and shorter lenses. In reviewing my shots from this year I wanted to post this one after seeing a similar shot of Todd's, to emulate a truly great photographer.
Celui-ci n'a pas trop apprécié ma chanson... sa tête... Clovis fait la même quand il n'ose pas me dire que je suis ridicule :-D
This powerful and agile leopard played hide and seek with us as he repeatedly disappeared in the long grass.
Okavango Delta, Botswana
The leopard is a very adaptable predator that lives in dense forest and open ground in large parts of Africa and Asia. Its prey ranges from small animals to antelope and other mid-sized prey.
About 20 minutes from the gate on the last day of our safari we finally sighted a leopard. After watching him observing an antelope crossing the track, our driver said we needed to go to avoid having to pay for another day in the park. He turned the key and nothing happened. After a nervous few minutes he was able to instruct us how to access the battery by removing the floor. All the movement was very interesting for the leopard who seemed to be hoping someone would step out to push the van. We did get it started and got to the gate, only 5 minutes late.
