This leopard looks relaxed on a riverbank, but a much larger crop would reveal a safari car very close in the bushes above him, and a number of other vehicles full of park visitors surrounding him, clamoring to photograph him. I suppose I, along with the folks in my care, was marginally more ethical because we were shooting from the other side of the river, but still I still felt a bit embarrassed to be part of a photographic feeding frenzy.

With as few as 45 adults remaining in the wild, the Amur leopard is probably the rarest and most critically endangered big cat in the world. Habitat destruction, degradation and poaching of Amur leopards and their prey are persistent threats. Hunted largely for its beautiful, spotted fur, the loss of each Amur leopard puts the species at greater risk of extinction.

The Amur leopard is classified as Critically Endangered since 1996 by IUCN. Data published by the World Wildlife Fund indicates that there are roughly 50 adult Amur leopards in the wild today.

The Amur leopard is a leopard subspecies native to the Primorye region of southeastern Russia and the Jilin Province of northeast China. They live for 10-15 years, and in captivity up to 20 years. The Amur leopard is also known as the Far East leopard, the Manchurian leopard or the Korean leopard.

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!!

My first wild leopard. Seen in Wilipattu National Park, Sri Lanka

This was one of two leopards we saw on my first night in the Serengeti. The second (a male) was also in this tree but much further up and very well hidden by the tree. It had caught a gazelle and the female in this photo was hoping the male might share.

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.

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!)

Thanks to all who comment or mark as a favorite it really is much appreciated.

This is another view of the first leopard we saw in Motswari.

We had an excellant day in the park today - 4 leopard sightings.I will have to add photos later.

Safely at rest after dining on impala.

I’ve followed this leopard since he was just a few weeks old when he was learning to climb; his keepers had to stand below the branches in his enclosure to catch him when he tumbled down. Clouded leopards are excellent tree climbers who can run headfirst down trees.

One early rainy morning we spotted this young male leopard sitting out near the road not far from camp! He was sitting in some bushes and just sat there and stared at us! I love this capture with his tongue out and I think it shows his youth! This photo was taken in the Olare motorogi conservancy in Kenya!
