I was really fortunate to have an amazingly peaceful and personal encounter with this female leopard. We were driving along when my wife woke up from a short nap and spotted her straight away. She was creeping through the forest with a limp due to an injured front leg. She then settled in some dappled light at the base of a tree very close to a watering hole waiting for the animals to enter when sheltering from the midday sun. She was quiet thin and with an injury it's concerning but this is leopard country and it was the dry season so I think there was still a very good chance of plenty of prey heading her way for a simple ambush.

Btw, not sure what's happening with flickr at the moment but it looks over-sharpened but I haven't done much to it at all so I assume it's flickr compression and its effects to a low-res file.

The female snow leopard was licking himself at a cozy place of the enclosure. It's only the second time I see them at the zoo of Basel, they are quite elusive...

Le léopard (Panthera pardus) ou panthère est une espèce de félins de la sous-famille des panthérinés. Ce félin présente un pelage fauve tacheté de rosettes ; une forme mélanique existe également. Excellent grimpeur et sauteur, le léopard a la particularité de hisser ses proies à la fourche d'un arbre pour les mettre hors de portée des autres prédateurs.

Félin solitaire et opportuniste, le léopard est largement distribué en Afrique et en Asie du Sud-Est sur de nombreux types d'habitats. La taille de la population est toutefois considérée comme en baisse par l'Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature, qui classe l'espèce comme quasi-menacée. Cinq sous-espèces sont considérées comme en danger ou en danger critique d'extinction : le léopard d'Arabie, le léopard de l'Amour, le léopard de Java, le léopard de Ceylan et le léopard de Perse.

Le léopard a une place importante dans la culture africaine où l'animal, considéré comme le roi des animaux, est l'attribut des chefs. La société secrète Aniota peut être considérée comme l'origine de légendes sur les hommes-léopards, équivalents des loups-garous occidentaux. En Europe, le léopard est décrit pour la première fois dans les bestiaires comme un animal vil issu d'un croisement adultère entre le lion (leo) et un félin légendaire, le pard (en). Cette réputation d'animal cruel et sanguinaire perdurera au moins jusqu'au XVIe siècle. L'image du félin est souvent utilisée dans la publicité (Dulux Valentine par exemple) ou dans les arts, comme la célèbre panthère rose.

The black leopard is one of three animals called "panther" – the others are the black jaguar and the cougar.

The leopard (Panthera pardus) is a member of the Felidae family with a wide range in some parts of Africa and tropical Asia, from Siberia, South and West Asia to across most of sub-Saharan Africa. It is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List because it is declining in large parts of its range due to habitat loss and fragmentation, and hunting for trade and pest control. It is regionally extinct in Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuwait, Syrian Arab Republic, Libya and Tunisia.[1]

The leopard /ˈlɛpərd/ is the smallest of the four "big cats" in the genus Panthera. Compared to other members of the Felidae, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but is smaller and more slightly built. Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are smaller and more densely packed, and do not usually have central spots as the jaguars do. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers.

The species' success in the wild is in part due to its opportunistic hunting behavior, its adaptability to habitats, its ability to run at speeds approaching 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph), its unequaled ability to climb trees even when carrying a heavy carcass,[2] and its notorious ability for stealth. The leopard consumes virtually any animal that it can hunt down and catch. Its habitat ranges from rainforest to desert terrains.
