Leyland Leopard/Duple Dominant II Express
Derby Bus Station
10th December 1988
New to PMT and seen with Tillingbourne, Cranleigh elsewhere in this photostream.
We were privileged and thrilled to get so close to this leopard, who was well camouflaged in a tree close to a herd of impala.
This photo was taken in 1983. I was on a bus between the airport and the Mala Mala game reserve in South Africa. Just inside the reserve the driver slammed on the brakes, shushed everyone, and pointed to the left. There, standing in the brush no more than 50 feet from us, was this gorgeous leopard. Fortunately, I was on the left side of the bus and had my camera equipment with me. I put on a 200mm lens, rolled down my window, braced the lens on the window frame, and got this image.

Milena, the female Leopard at Colchester Zoo, will be gradually introduced to their male Leopard over the quieter winter months.
UPDATE
In the event, Milena and male she had been paired with never hit it off and they were rehomed elsewhere.
Esra and Crispin, who succeded them, produced a pair of cubs who themselves are close enough to adulthood to be moved on to new homes.

at Leopard Heights, in Yorkshire Wildlife Park....a fantastic enclosure built for the purpose of being stimulating for the animal. Lots of wooden beams and platforms for him to climb as well as grasslands - seen here just in nick of time through glass window. Doncaster, South Yorks, UK. May 2015.
