Leopard is one of 15 wildcats found in India and Satpura tiger reserve in central India is one of the best places to see a leopard in the wild.
This was the sixth leopard we saw on the trip, and the first adult male. He had a much more menacing look than the women, and was decidedly chunkier.
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.

The leopards taken into custody by forest department of Maharashtra are put at Manikdoh near Junnar. I visited the place on June 23 for one of my stories. It was a thrilling experience. I got to know so much within that half an hour. And I was thrilled to no limits. I plan to write more on this subject because I am totally in love with this animal.
The Amur leopard is considered to be one of the most critically endangered big cats in the world, with roughly 30-40 individuals remaining in the wild. Habitat loss and hunting (for trophies and use in traditional medicines) are the biggest threats to Amur leopards in the wild.
The Amur leopard has been a protected species in Russia since 1956, but poaching is still a problem. Conservation efforts in the wild for these animals include anti-poaching patrols, customs control, fighting forest fires, environmental education programmes and working closely with local communities.

Threats to snow leopards include hunting (for trophies and the fur trade) and habitat destruction. Through the loss of their habitat, the number of the snow leopard’s prey species has decreased as a result. Because of this, snow leopards have been known to target livestock animals which then results in farmers hunting them, in order to protect their animals.
Snow leopards are protected by law and international trade in this species is banned. There are many organisations that have been involved in creating ways to help protect this species. Programs that have been put in place to protect this species include community-based conservation, research of population numbers (through using camera traps), educational programs and increasing the protection available for livestock animals.

She is not happy. She had killed an impala and dragged it up a tree only to be pestered by hyena after her supper.
