Yesterday was a overcast, rainy day so I returned for another shoot with the hope that there would be less visitors and the leopards would be less skittish.
When I first arrived, the mother leopard saw me coming and shooed her cubs back into the den. She stayed outside and hissed and growled at me and then she too went back into the den.
I had the exhibit nearly to myself so I just quietly and patiently waited for her to get used to my presence and after about an hour she started to venture out followed by her cubs.
