Another first for me on July 13 - mating leopards. Seeing them together really showed how big the male was. They had been going at it for a while (days), with each encounter lasting only seconds (just like the lions). She initiates each time by brushing against him as she is doing here

Last picture of the series: again a portrait of the young male leopard. The white background is in fact the gray sky.
A winsome amur leopard at the Minnesota Zoological Garden. Please, everyone: Support all efforts to save these beautiful wild cats from extinction in the wild!!!
This is the copy from the D810 of a similar picture taken by my wife. (Although this one is a little less sharp cause I caught it through the windscreen.) The increased dynamic range of the D810 really shows off in comparison.
Sorry for being away so long.... It was planting time on the farm!!! Long hours, long days...
As soon as we finished we jumped at the opportunity to visit Kruger, obviously our favourite holiday destination!!!
Back from another fantastic trip to Kruger Park! What a place!! It was very hot, very rainy… But does'nt matter, it was Kruger!!!!
Every time I try to spot the magical leopard, but this was the best I could manage...!!!
What a great experience it was though!!! (Always is!!!) (Just 2km out of Skukuza..!!)

Because the snow leopard lives in such inaccessible places the size of the wild population is very difficult to estimate, but it is most likely somewhere between 4000 and 6500. These are distributed over a vast area including parts of Mongolia, USSR, China, Bhutan, N. India, Pakistan, Nepal and Afghanistan. Numbers are few and are restricted to the higher colder regions above the forests, where permanent snow is found.
