We saw six leopards whilst in Tanzania and it was definitely a case of saving the best till last. This one was in a tree right next to the road and allowed me to take a few photos before climbing down and disappearing into the long grass
Every move a leopard makes and every posture it shows has the overtones of stealth.
Here, the leopard was walking up in our general direction, and had a wide open path that must have been at least ten feet wide.
And yet, it walks right next to some shrubs to one side of the path, and uses camouflage right up until the end.
You can also see the slight crouch in its posture, just as it emerges from behind its cover into a more open area.
Really amazing to see it, especially when you are looking for it!
This shot was a gift! It is one of my favorite shots of this highly elusive and hard to find animal.

What an absolute privilege to have the opportunity of getting up close and personal with the big cat that everyone wants to see in the wild. This beautiful male leopard was lying on a rock and partially hidden from view when our guide spotted him. He was in an extremely awkward position but, with a bit of careful mavouvering of the vehicle, we managed some clean shots through trees and bushes. Not only was it another fantastic leopard experience for us, but because he was up on the rocks it gave us some pretty special eye-level photos. I don't usually say this, but 'view large'.
Such a sight to see--- this leopard was in a tree with its kill, having its dinner. The raw power of the cat, and the sheer beauty of his grace and strength were a sight to behold.
We watched in awe for nearly an hour as it dined rather obscured by the leafy branches, and then came out on a branch to clean its whiskers and lounge in the setting sun.
The camera GPS and this photo map says we were in Tanzania for this shot, but we must have been just on the border in the Masai Mara of Kenya, because we hadn't crossed the river into Tanzania yet.
More photos to come! Here is my African safari album link

Bumping up for my fur friends :)
Taken at the Toronto Zoo during Nap time. Found on another website without my permission.
I know the perks of Flickr are sharing photos and getting feedback but the downside is that the images are sometimes taken and used without permission.

This is a picture of sheer anticipation. He was patiently waiting until the female let him... have his wicked ways with her. And... his patience got rewarded! Good for him!
This time in 9 days I had only 1 leopard sighting but it was a beautiful young leopard with an impala kill hidden in the grass just next to the road. She(?) was a bit shy and after a few more cars stopped it became too busy. The leopard disappeared in the long grass to wait for the evening probably to finish her(?) meal.
