Edinburgh Zoo - Edinburgh, Scotland

Kruger National Park, South Africa

Have been neglecting my treasured leopards recently, time for some leopard love. This stunning gorgeous girl was having a rest on top of an ant hill on the plains of Sabi Sands , South Africa. She was giving us such an intense look and I found her eyes mesmerising - from a distance with a telephoto lens of course!

Happy weekend everyone, when it arrives in your part of the world. Highs of 24c and sunny here, perfect ☀️

Thanks for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. I really appreciate it very much.

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...

The Leopard is the most secretive and elusive big cat. Leopards are renowned for their agility. They run up to 58km/h and can leap 6m horizontally and 3m vertically.

Leopards are beautiful cats and what wildlife photographer wouldn’t love the chance to photograph them. However, they are usually solitary and unless you’re extremely lucky enough to find a female with cubs, or interaction between two adults, or a hunt (emphasis on extremely lucky) you generally are left with them walking through their range or sleeping. Add a tree, however, and things become more potentially photogenic. This leopard was walking through the Maasai Mara savanna when it quickly climbed a tree to gain a better view of potential prey or threats. We managed to get close enough in time to catch it coming down from the tree to resume its wanderings. (Panthera pardus) (Sony a1, 200-600mm lens @344mm, f/7.1, 1/1250 second, ISO 640)

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.

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

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!!

Okavango Delta, Botswana

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.

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.

Zoo Hannover 10.11.2019

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!

(Panthera pardus pardus) B28I9726 Shawu - Kruger NP - South Africa

This leopard was very busy raising its prey to the top of the tree to protect it from lusts. It took us half an hour to approach him, step by step, to give him confidence. With his gaze, he ensured our benevolence. On the other hand, another vehicle arrived noisily and without respect and it fled.

Ce léopard était très occupé à remonter sa proie au sommet de l'arbre pour la mettre à l'abri des convoitises. Nous avons mis une demi heure à l'approcher, étape par étape pour le mettre en confiance. Avec son regard, il s'est assuré de notre bienveillance. Par contre, un autre véhicule est arrivé bruyamment, sans respect et il s'est enfui.
