"Prowling over steep terrain of cliffs, ridges, gullies, and rocky outcrops, snow leopards are most active in the early morning and late afternoon. They prefer the solitary life, but aren’t unsociable. Their home ranges, which can span up to 50 square miles, often overlap. To find one another or advertise their presence, snow leopards leave scents along their routes, or scrape boulders and tree trunks with their claws. These distinct signals help the cats mark off their ranges. For their dens, snow leopards typically choose crevices or rocky caverns."

We were extremely fortunate to see this leopard twice in 2 different locations on the same day. Once in the morning, and once in the evening.

Botswana Big Cats (15 Images). Continuing the series of images taken recently in Botswana. This group covers a number of groups of lions, some leopard and a pair of cheetah. Many of the lions had been active hunting with kills of buffelo, zebra and even a young elephant. In many cases the animals were resting after a big feed. The leopard had also been hunting and placed a kill in a tree.
This Leopard was just giving out a warning to 'stay clear' so understandably a 'please' was not needed
what a beautiful animal

This Leopard was given to the Africat Foundation as a cub after his mother was killed by a farmer. As he was so young he had to be hand reared which led to him being too comfortable around humans. After an unsuccesful attempt to release him into the wild (he was found sleeping on a settee in Africats reception) he was built a large enclosure at Africat where members of the public can watch his daily feed from a hide.
