Thanks for stopping by - big appreciation for your faves and comments.
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.

An old image taken at the WHF.
Still having odd things happen in Flickr this image has been tagged with Tiger and will not let me remove it ?.
What an incredible opportunity!! I have never been this close nor photographed this rare big cat. They are very solitary, really shy and are rarely seen in daylight.
Due to deforestation and poaching, they are identified as vulnerable on the IUCN red list. I thought I would never get such an opportunity and it was a wonderful morning indeed to see such a curious Clouded Leopard.
Fact of the day; Clouded Leopards do not roar... but they do purr.....!!!
Photographed with awe at Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens
These little creatures are fascinating. This one is well camouflaged on this path as he makes his way after a passing rain shower. I think they are beautiful!

Cethosia cyane, the leopard lacewing, is a species of heliconiine butterfly found from India to southern China (southern Yunnan), and Indochina. Its range has expanded in the last few decades, and its arrival in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula, including Singapore, is relatively recent.
Le léopard, ou panthère, est un animal de la famille des félins. Son pelage est jaune et couvert de taches en rosettes (ocelles) noires. Certains léopards, plus souvent nommés panthères noires, ont une robe très foncée où l’on distingue mal les ocelles bien que présentes. Il s’agit là d’une anomalie génétique entraînant un surplus de mélanine appelé le mélanisme.
Le léopard a une espérance de vie de l’ordre de 12 ans en liberté, alors que certains peuvent atteindre l’âge honorable de 20 ans en captivité. Sa taille varie entre 1,50 et 2,50 m de longueur et de 60 à 70 cm au garrot. Il pèse entre 50 et 80 kg.
Le cri du léopard est le feulement, le miaulement et le rugissement. On dit qu'il feule, miaule et rugit.
Il n’y a pas de période de reproduction fixe. Lorsque la femelle est prête à s’accoupler, elle émet une urine caractéristique que les mâles reconnaissent immédiatement. Il arrive souvent qu’une même femelle se retrouve avec plusieurs prétendants. Ceux-ci doivent alors se battre pour conquérir la future compagne, car seul le vainqueur aura le privilège de s’accoupler. Une fois le vainqueur désigné, le couple restera ensemble durant 6 à 7 jours, tant que la femelle sera en chaleur. Puis le mâle retournera sur son territoire et laissera la femelle élever seule ses petits.
La gestation dure environ 3 mois et demi. La femelle met au monde une portée de 1 à 6 petits. À la naissance, les petits sont aveugles et pèsent environ 500 g. Au bout d’un an, les jeunes quittent leur mère pour entamer une vie de solitaire.

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

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