The leopard is the most elusive and secretive of the large felids. They are extremely difficult to trace and locate in the wild. They run up to 58km/h and can leap 6m horizontally and 3m vertically.

Another view of the beautiful female leopard that we saw on our first game drive in Motswari Private Game Reserve.
We spotted an old female on the other side of the dry riverbed yesterday - she was watching us watching her. She is probably the same one that has been wandering through the camp for the last two nights.

A young female leopard moving through the bush and undergrowth with the silence and stealth of a hungry cat.
We found this beautiful young leopard lying some 10 meters next to the road and quite relaxed. We had this one for ourselves because passing cars did not stop and asked where we were watching at!!
The leopard is one of the four wild cats of the genus Panthera.
The African leopard, lion, elephant, Cape buffalo and white/black rhinos are also called the "Big Five".
The term was originally a hunting term for the greatest and most dangerous wild animals used by white hunters.
This leopard was observed in the Serengeti, Tanzania. There are endless grasslands (from which the name Serengeti comes) interspersed with rock outcroppings which provide habitat for many creatures as well as shade. The rocks also often hold rainwater where I saw elephants come to drink. The outcroppings are called Moro Kopjes, or just Kopjes. We found many lions on the rocks and were lucky to find this leopard. It napped for a long time on a rocky ledge then climbed down and made it onto this log which provided a nice photo setting. Thank you, Mr. Leopard! Leopards are strong and can carry more than their body weight up a tree, where it is safe from lions, hyena and other carnivores. We found one old carcass of something in one of the Acacia trees we passed. They need to get close to their prey to attack and often hunt at night, aiding in their concealment. Personally, I don’t think they have a personality as entertaining as lions or cheetah, but their beauty is, in my opinion, unsurpassed.

This image was captured in the wild in the Kgalagadi.
(You might have noticed, this is the nth upload of this same leopard, but then again, she gave me so much pleasure and time to capture images of her!)
Another photo of the beautiful female leopard that ran alongside the road as we were driving along. We stopped the car and she came up beside the car and hid behind a bush and began watching some Impala on the opposite side. They spotted her and she decided to just sit and wait. There were no other cars around for quite a while, so a wonderful sighting where we had her to ourselves for photos.

Leopards are graceful and powerful cats. They are astoundingly strong and are the strongest of the big cats. They are able to climb trees, even when carrying heavy prey, and often choose to rest on tree branches during the day.
The leopard is the most elusive and secretive of the large felids. They are extremely difficult to trace and locate in the wild.
They run up to 58km/h and can leap 6m horizontally and 3m vertically. They are also very strong swimmers.

I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.
