Leopard (Panthera pardus)

This was an old leopard. It had been tame, but at about 4 years old leopards' territorial instincts kick in. It is cruel to game to put them in with him, so they feed him the cheapest meat possible; Donkey. Leopards are incredibly powerful and can climb trees due to the ability to lock their ankles.

Guy had just had a fight, probably half hour before. We caught him on the thalgasmankada road at about 7.30am, he moved towards the gonalehabba kalapuwa where I took this sequence. Spent the entire day marking his territory, in the evening we came across him heading towards the Yala crossing, again marking his territory.

Leopard at The Living Desert.

This was tough shooting since the shots were taken through some very thick glass with a blue tint and the sun was nearly set so the light was very low.

Leopard portrait

Taken at the Baltimore City zoo

This female leopard established a position on this rock in proximity to another younger female, while being watched by a male in the distance at Sabi Sand Game Reserve. While being followed by the other female, this leopard kept drooling, perhaps a sign of fear or excitement?

She was making a "har, har" sound to advertise her presence to other females and males.

Tara is one of two critically endangered amur leopards at the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, Massachusetts.
