I know why a Leopard can't change his spots - if I had a comfy branch like that one, I wouldn't want to change my spot either ;)
Great views, nice neighbourhood, lots of takeaway ...
Anyway ... another of the awesome cubs in Sabi Sands Reserve, South Africa.

... ein wunderschönes Seengebiet im Nordosten Islands. Der Blick wird etwas getrübt, da sich soviele Mücken in diesem Gebiet aufhalten, so dass der See nicht zu unrecht Mückensee genannt wird. Ein Netz, welches man zum Schutz über den Kopf stülpen kann, nimmt einem leider die klare Sicht auf diese schöne Landschaft.

Lucky enough, we found two female Leopards in Chikwenya, Mana Pools, on one spot.
Most likely they were both on the borders of each others territory.
They were lying peaceful together, but as we appeared, they went in seperate directions.

Lions are extremely water shy.
But sometimes it just does not work and they have to go through it.
These young lions here had no other chance. Their mothers had been waiting for them on the other side of the Khwai since morning. It took hours for one of the youngsters to take heart and speed through the water. The rest of his kinsfolk followed immediately. In 40 seconds, the spectacle was over and the lions were unmolested by crocodiles and frogs on the saving shore.

Amboseli National Park, formerly Maasai Amboseli Game Reserve, is in Kajiado County, Kenya. The park is 39,206 hectares (392 km2; 151 sq mi) in size at the core of an 8,000 km2 (3,100 sq mi) ecosystem that spreads across the Kenya-Tanzania border.
Amboseli National Park offers some of the best opportunities to see African wildlife because the vegetation is sparse due to the long, dry months. The protected area is home to African bush elephant, Cape buffalo, impala, lion, cheetah, spotted hyena, Masai giraffe, Grant's zebra, and blue wildebeest. A host of large and small birds occur too.

King Eider, Seller's Eider, Spectacled Eider, Red-throated Loon and Pacific Loon are considered the "big five" of Barrow Alaska. Wildlife photographers travelling to Barrow hope to get good photos of each of these species. I just noticed that the Pacific Loon was the last of the "big five" I had not posted yet! So there you have it! More to come off course :)

Amboseli National Park, formerly Maasai Amboseli Game Reserve, is in Kajiado County, Kenya. The park is 39,206 hectares (392 km2; 151 sq mi) in size at the core of an 8,000 square kilometres (3,100 sq mi) ecosystem that spreads across the Kenya-Tanzania border. The local people are mainly Maasai, but people from other parts of the country have settled there attracted by the successful tourist-driven economy and intensive agriculture along the system of swamps that makes this low-rainfall area (average 350 mm (14 in)) one of the best wildlife-viewing experiences in the world with 400 species of birds including water birds, pelicans, kingfishers, crakes, hammerkops and 47 types of raptor. The park protects two of the five main swamps, and includes a dried-up Pleistocene lake and semi-arid vegetation.
240 kilometers (150 miles) southeast from the capital city Nairobi, Amboseli National Park is the second most popular national park in Kenya after Maasai Mara National Reserve.
The park is famous for being the best place in the world to get close to free-ranging elephants. The park also offers spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world.
