This leopard had killed a young warthog earlier in the day. He came out at night to remind us he was still on the job.

The three endangered Amur Leopards Dimitri, Denzil and Drake - were brought to the award-winning YWP in May last year as part of the European Breeding Programme. The Amur leopard is the most endangered big cat in the world and only approximately 30 remain in the wild. The breeding programme is vital to the survival of this charismatic animal. — at Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
Leopard at The Living Desert.
This was tough shooting since the shots were taken through some very thick glass with a blue tint and the sun was nearly set so the light was very low.

Another part of the magical encounter. The leopard passed literally yards from me.
Leopard is really focused on the impalas that are literally just yards away.

Finally, we left the scene and came back later. only the mother was there and she was left in peace by the baboons. She had eaten by the time we returned and was panting in the heat...
Snow Leopards
Brookfield Zoo
October 20, 2013
It's been 4 weeks since I photographed Brookfield Zoo's Snow Leopard cub, Everest. He has grown quite a bit, and boy does he like to play! He keeps his mom, Sarani, very busy! It is so fun to watch them interact with one another.
V1M very kindly organised for me to go to the Wildlife Heritage Foundation in Kent for a Photographers on Safari day. This meant access inside the normal outer barriers that visitors are normally restricted behind, and enabled me to get right up against the inner enclosure, with camera lens as close as could be to the main enclosure. As well as our photographic instructor - John Wright - on hand to advise on technique, we also one of the cats' keepers, Becky, to tempt the animals out of hiding and into more photogenic positions with some tasty bits of meat.
As some of you will know I am a bit of a fan of animals and big cats in particular so I was rather in my element! Not only did I get some rather lovely photos of some gorgeous animals, but just being at such close quarters with them for the whole day was wonderful in itself.
We followed this young fellow around the Sabi Sands game reserve for a short while as he was on the prowl for some food. Difficult to tell from the image, but he was a fairly sizable young lad, it's the slender frame and slightly narrower head, as we were told, that gives away that he's a younger leopard. I was fortunate enough to have pressed the shutter as he turned his gaze to us and politely smile.
