This was a highlight.
The mother of two leopard cubs had taken off, who knows where. So, the little ones did what little ones do, they played. I was fortunate to watch them for more than an hour as the bounded about with seemingly endless amounts of energy.
This one stopped for a short moment to catch its breath. They looked to be a few months old. Totally adorable and a real rare find to see so clearly in the Serengeti.

The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the five "big cats" in the genus Panthera. It is a member of the Felidae family with a wide range in regions of sub-Saharan Africa, West Asia, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia to Siberia
This guy was actually in a fenced enclosure, I'm quite impressed with my Tamron lens for being able to focus entirely (well pretty much) on the leopard and not the fence between us!
We were fortunate enough to see a leopard and her two cubs yesterday. The mother had just caught an impala and was dragging it away from a crowd of angry baboons...
At Yorkshire Wildlife Park.......we have such a fantastic place right on our doorstep......the animals are all beautifully kept....and are involved in breeding programs......the enclosures are landscaped and spacious, with plenty of variation for the animals. As far as parks go, this is one of the best. I never feel uneasy after I've been here, which for me is a good sign.
Well worth a visit if youre in the area.
