Makwela is leopard who's territory lies within the Sabi Sands game reserve, South Africa. The photo was taken in May 2006 when she was pregnant. She has since given birth to a female cub.
What an amazing moment it was when came upon this young male leopard, obviously sated from a fresh kill. In the early morning dawn he just sat near the side of the road and looked at us for about 20 minutes while we clicked away! Then, imagine our suprise as we got a bonus as another young male come up and joined him before walking off and having a bit of a play tussle! The memory is ingrained in my brain! It was soooo COOL!

The poor leopard was obviously unhappy and in some distress as witnessed by his constant pacing backwards and forwards in his enclosure.
I thought the conversion to g/s may help to put across the mournful look in the beautiful leopards eyes.
