A Male Leopard relaxing under a tree in the Serengetti. Of course then we arrived as did about 15 other vehicles. You can spend time in the Serengetti driving for hours not spotting another vehicle but word spreads fast when one of the big five are spotted.
Another part of the magical encounter. The leopard passed literally yards from me.

Male leopard at the Moholoholo Rehabilitation Center near Hoedspruit outside Kruger Park.
This is an extraordinary center with a very practical approach to rehabilitation of injured animals. Well worth the visit.

African Leopard » Panthera pardus » 'Luiperd'
Powerful, graceful and arguably one of the most beautiful of all the large cats, the elusive leopard is a master of stealth and survival. By far the strongest climber, it can haul prey twice its own body weight up into a tree where it can feast without disturbance from other predators. Male leopards usually measure 80 cm high at the shoulder and weigh between 20 – 90 kg. Females are considerably smaller, weighing between 17 – 60 kg.
Solitary, arboreal and nocturnal, they are difficult to spot but can sometimes be seen sunning themselves from their favorite viewpoint. Their nocturnal lifestyle is probably a reaction to human pressures and hunting. In National Parks, large game reserves and remote areas they can be seen moving about more readily during the day. They like to drape themselves over tree branches or rest in caves to escape the midday heat.
This one was on a tree branch waiting for nightfall.

We had just had our 2nd experience with a Tigress at Kanha and were making a rapid retreat to the gate when this guy just slid out of the trees. We tracked him for about five minutes and watched him cross the road in front of our vehicle. Taken in pretty poor light, most of my shots suffer from motion blur or too much foliage obscuring his features.
