Photo of wild African Leopard - Panthera pardus. This leopard was photographed in the Sabi Sands region of the Kruger National Park in South Africa. This Leopard was relaxing in the last sunshine of the day waiting for light to fall so she could go hunting.

This photograph was taken with a Canon 7d, and a Sigma Lens 150-500 f5.0-6.3

At the Sacramento Zoo

I was pretty lucky at my most recent visit to the San Diego Zoo. This leopard was up and walking around and I even got a picture of the Fishing Cat (seen earlier in my stream).

Leopard at Marwell Zoo.

Meshack spotted this leopard and he took this great picture. We had lunch right under the tree. Just us and the leopard... forgot what I ate but it was the best lunch I've ever had.

This male leopard was enjoying eating his food.

Waited and waited at the Russia's Grizzly Coast compound at the Minnesota Zoo for this Amur Leopard [Panthera pardus orientalis] to do something more that just pose on the log.

Suddenly I had this shot and I heard the woman next to me tell her companion, "I got it with it's mouth open!" I hoped I did too and realized I had a good shot when I reviewed the photo.

This leopard's companion was named "Paulina" (aka Nina, according to a zoo docent), but I didn't get the name of this leopard . . . a rather beautiful creature much like it's kin, the snow leopard.

As you can see, I hazed out the background and foreground log a bit to keep the focus on the leopard's face.
