This leopard had a kill (a warthog around 150 lbs) up in the canopy of this tree. The leopard had obviously eaten and was taking a nap when we spotted it in tree. Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.

I shoot periodically at the Kirshner Wildlife foundation in Butte County, California. The woman who owns the facility is a renowned animal handler and has been on shows like Jay Leno, animal planet etc. I started helping her with photos two year ago and have been allowed in cages with unbelievable cats and bears, lemurs, lynx, ligers and more. This one I had to shoot through the chain link fence which was difficult as it kept pacing and jumping.
Sub-adult male leopard, photographed last morning at Wilpattu National Park. We spent over an hour with this curious 3-4 year old young male with no other vehicles to disturb the sighting (unlike at Yala). All the other vehicles were doing the Panikka villa circuit in search of the famous young leopard there whereas we decided to go in the opposite direction, end result was this photograph (and more) while everyone else saw naught. We allowed him to get comfortable with us rather than invade his space and he allowed me probably the best leopard photo op I have had in the last 5 years.
