Happy Father's Day to all the proud papas out there!
A male lion in Tanzania's Serengeti looks out over the plains with the matriarch lost it an afternoon slumber at his side. A gentle warm breeze softly blows his beautiful mane. He appears lost in thought. And I can't help wondering just what it is that a lion contemplates on beautiful days like today.
Sighting of an elephant is always thrilling. Sometimes, it's a solitary male. Sometimes, it's a whole group with youngters. This one was alone, and really cautious before crossing the road. Maybe he had some bad experience previously.
Elephant are so sensible. They are intelligent, and have a wonderfully good memory.
The most you observe them, the most you learn from their behaviour...
It was an unbelievably hot day in the Kruger and this guy probably had one of the best spots in the park during the midday heat.
did some black / white post processing work from a pic I took in Kenya during safari at Taita hills / Tsavo West nationalpark. Hope you like it.
Buffalo certainly don't worry about looking neat. This buffalo covered itself with mud after emerging from the water, with plants draped over its back. An oxpecker eats insects off of the buffalo's face while flies hover all over the buffalo's body.
The title Eye of the Leopard is homage to the awesome National Geographic documentary of the same name, shot by Beverly and Dereck Joubert, featuring the life of Legadema, a young leopard in the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
The leopard in my image is Makepisi (which means "hat" in Shangaan). I captured this image of a stunning leopard on the first game drive we took in the Motswari Private Game Reserve, which is located within the Timbavati region of Greater Kruger National Park in Mpumalanga province, South Africa.
Makepisi was the very first wild leopard we encountered.
We spent quite a nice time in close proximity to Makepisi, watching, photographing and videoing him.
I also shot video footage of Makepisi.

African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) We watched as this big guy pushed and pulled at the unfortunate Acacia trees to satisfy his ample appetite!
Mating male Lion (Panthera leo) checks the scent of the female as he gets up to attempt to mate with her. The "object of his affections" - the lioness - smacked him on the nose, growled at him, and walked away. Masai Mara, Kenya.

African Lion (male). We encountered this young male lion just after he had been in a battle with another lion. There is still blood on his muzzle and chin, and his right ear has been mauled. Our guide Kenny said that he had probably been in a fight over females and that since he was alone, he had lost the fight.
After a brief photo session, he ambled away.

Una hembra de gacela Thomson mira directamente a la cámara. Se trata de la especie de gacela más común y uno de los principales pilares del sustento de depredadores .
Tiene el dorso de color marrón dorado y las partes inferiores blancas con una franja negra muy distintiva que recorre su costado, siendo su principal diferencia con la Gacela de Grant de aspecto muy similar.
This is Jake, a male white lion who lives with his sister Mishka in the National Zoo & Aquarium in Canberra.
During the weekend of 14-15 May, 2016, we spent time at the zoo, and had a special experience: we got to pet and feed Jake, up close and personal.
Being in his presence and having physical contact with Jake was an amazing experience, and one I would thoroughly recommend.
Mishka and Jake are the first zoo-based lions we have seen since our first trip to Africa, and it was great to see that they are healthy lions who are respected and treated well by the zookeepers.
Male Lion (Panthera leo), belly full of Cape Buffalo, shakes the flies off his face while searching for water. He and another male lion (also bursting at the seams) had taken a large cape buffalo down overnight. The two looked very groggy as they searched the open grasslands for a stream. Masai Mara, Kenya.
Of Kenya's “Big Five” (lion, elephant, rhinoceros, leopard, and cape buffalo), the leopard is generally the hardest to spot. I was lucky on my trip to Masai Mara National Reserve, because I saw one on my first day of safari. My driver spotted this leopard sleeping in a tree in the morning. We watched him for a while, and eventually gave up hoping that he would actually do anything more entertaining than lie around. When we returned to the same tree later that evening, guess who was exactly where we'd left him?
