This leopard was photographed in the Ndutu area of Tanzania with Todd Gustafson several years ago. Todd is a world class nature photographer and it was my privilege to go to Tanzania with him twice. This particular leopard was a female who took up a position on a fallen trunk of a tree, right at eye level. As we approached I kept pushing the shutter, expecting to have to stop once she showed any sign of discomfort. It never happened. We were able to stop very close to her where this image was taken. You feel like a very lucky person when something like this happens, a memory I'll never forget. It's what's special about photography. All the memories come flooding back.

Take care guys, Mike.

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.

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!!

Kruger National Park

A young female leopard moving through the bush and undergrowth with the silence and stealth of a hungry cat.

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.

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

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!)

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.

A closer look than previous photo! flic.kr/p/25TyBeo

He was so chilled, we drove up to the tree, snapped his pic and left him in peace!

In this photo you can really see how the Leopards markings really help them blend into their surroundings.

Taken in South Africa

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

Such a gorgeous and elusive snow leopard. She is used to my comings and goings and often times now will look at me or is she watching the deer just over my shoulder?

Male leopard walking by a slightly inclined dirt road in the reserve directly in front of our jeep located at the bottom. He traveled down the road for quite a distance before swerving off into the bush. I was quite fortunate to see this male because our jeep was the only one present during the encounter.

Too close.

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.

Aside from Wild Dogs, the one species I was most hoping to see was the Leopard. In the end, we actually saw seven different animals - I would have been over the moon with just one!

Here's a couple of images from two individuals, taken in Erindi and Okonjima game reserves...
