Taken at Southlakes Zoo in Cumbria recently. We managed to visit on a free entry day. Suppose we should have known why,because the day after the zoo lost it's animal licence and had to close temporarily. Conditions at the zoo were not good.

Young male leopard shot in the wild a few meters from my vehicle. I had to shoot through an open car window but fortunately am still here to post the image on Flickr :-) Full frame. Guess what he was doing!

Female leopard out looking for prey in the Masai Mara National Reserve. This image has been cropped to bring the leopard closer.
The classic Leopard image is that of an animal draped on a branch in a tall tree. Although Leopards do spend time in trees this image can be a little misleading as in many places where Leopards occur, such as the Central Kalahari, the trees are not suitable for climbing and the animals spend all the time of the ground.

Nocturnal animals, leopards are active at night when they venture out in search for food. They spend their days mostly resting, camouflaged in the trees or hiding in caves. (Source: National Geographic)
Namibia Leopard differ from cheetah by its stockier and more powerful appearance, bigger head and muscular body. The expression in their eyes is baleful and catlike whereas the cheetah’s eyes seem gentler.
Uncommonly seen due to their secretive nocturnal habits, they are solitary but can be seen in pairs when mating or in small groups consisting of a mother and her offsprings.

Many thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.
We arrived at Motswari Private Game Reserve at 2.30 in the afternoon and were settled into our cabin. We were told to be back at the office at 3.30 if we wanted to go on the afternoon safari and of course we decided to go. An amazing experience and after only being on the safari truck for around 45 minutes we saw this beautiful leopard stalking some Impala.
Unable to decide if I like the B&W (I think I do) better than colour, putting both out there for help. Taken before sunrise with a borrowed lens wide open on max ISO so more noise than I would have liked.

Cub is keeping close to mom with a number of spotted hyenas and wild dogs in the area. They took to the trees several times to avoid contact with other predators.

Our third major leopard encounter was with a lovely female African leopard Panthera pardus pardus). It was nearly 7pm and the light was beginning to fade, but she was still clearly visible lying on a branch. After a while she sat up and looked out beyond our vehicles. I think dinner was on her mind. She must have seen something because she suddenly bounded down the tree to the ground, walked a bit through the grass, and then disappeared.
