I feel like one of the super lucky ones to have had the opportunity to visit Africa on more than one occasion, and I hope to go back. Going back and starting to keyword all the memories come flooding back, one of the great things about photography. This leopard stood on this branch, took a nice yawn before taking this position. I like this shot the best because of its eyes.
This picture was taken just seconds before she attacked the fence between us. She was really angry!

The Leopard is behind two fences. A cage inside a fence which makes it very hard to get a good shot while eliminating the fences.
The snow leopard (Panthera uncia or Uncia uncia), sometimes known as "ounce," is a moderately large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia. The classification of this species has been subject to change and its exact taxonomic position will not be resolved until further studies are conducted.
It cannot roar, despite possessing an incomplete ossification of the hyoid bone. The presence of this ossification was previously thought to be essential for allowing the big cats to roar. However, new studies show that the ability to roar is due to other morphological features, especially of the larynx, which are absent in the snow leopard.
The snow leopard's range in central and south Asia is rugged mountainous regions of approximately 1,230,000 square kilometers, which extends through 12 countries: Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
The geographic distribution from the Hindukush in eastern Afghanistan and the Syr Darya through the mountains of Pamir Mountains, Tian Shan, Karakorum, Kashmir, Kunlun, and the Himalaya to southern Siberia, where the range covers the Russian Altai mountains, Sajan, Tannu-Ola mountains and the mountains to the west of Lake Baikal. In Mongolia it is found in the Mongolian and Gobi Altai and the Khangai Mountains. In Tibet it is found up to the Altyn-Tagh in the North
This beautiful big cat is a Sri Lankan Leopard and was taken at a zoo called Banham Zoo (UK)... It was a rather moody day which proved a challenge when capturing. Page: www.facebook.com/LiamGriggsPhotography</a
This Leopard was injured (although he or she looked splendid to me) and was being treated in a animal hospital in Kenya. The hospital was open to visitors becoming, in essence, a very unique zoo.
Snow Leopard......definitely my favourite of the cat family ..sadly vulnerable and endangered in the wild ..they inhabit alpine and subalpine zones at elevations of 3,000–4,500 m (9,800–14,800 ft) and central Asia ....from southern Russia down to the Tibetan plateau, including Mongolia, China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Nepal.
