The leopard is the most secretive and elusive big cat. The spots are circular in East African leopards but square in Southern African leopards.
Four days spent in the heart of the Serengeti were not nearly enough. It is a place of wonder, of delights and of incredible moments shared with spectacular creatures.
Photos were taken during a 9 day safari in partnership with Fed Tours and Safaris (fedsafaris.com) who provided an absolutely incredible experience.

A Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia) photographed at Marwell Zoo in March 2015.
Snow Leopards are native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia, these beautiful big cats are listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Unfortunately, leopards are the world's most persecuted cat. Due to dwindling numbers and also their secretive nature, these big cats are difficult to come across. They have impressive strength in the muscles of the head, neck, shoulders and legs which gives them the ability to carry heavy carcasses up into trees. With luck, they may live 12 to 15 years in the wild whereas in zoos they average about 23 years. Males can weigh between 30 and 90 kg and females 23 to 60 kg.....This photo was taken in Kirkman's Camp in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, province of Mpumalanga, South Africa.
