The snow leopard’s five-inch thick coat affords great protection from the cold. The coat also comes in handy as camouflage, helping the leopard blend in with the rocky terrain to hide from potential prey. Sadly, the beautiful coat also hinders the leopard’s survival, as poaching for the fur is one of its major threats.
A different shot of the same Leopard as posted yesterday.
The leopard is very adaptable and can live in many different places across the globe. Leopards are found in sub-Saharan Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, southwestern and eastern Turkey, in the Sinai/Judean Desert of Southwest Asia, the Himalayan foothills, India, Russia, China and the islands of Java and Sri Lanka, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). These large cats can live in almost any type of habitat, including rainforests, deserts, woodlands, grassland savannas, forests, mountain habitats, coastal scrubs, shrub lands and swampy areas. In fact, leopards live in more places than any other large cat.

We spent two separate periods on the same day with this female, watching her feasting on an Impala she had killed and dragged up this tree. Here she is having a well-earned scratch to gain some respite from the flies the kill attracted.
Thanks to all who take the time to comment or mark as a favourite.

We had been hoping to spot this female leopard for a few days. She had been seen recently at her regular Kopje haunt the day of our arrival moving her two new born cubs around. It took 3 days of regular visits to get a glimpse of her. On our final morning game drive we found her in a tree with a freshly killed wildebeest calf. We watched her for about 25 minutes moving the carcass further and further up into the tree.
Namiri Plains is located an hour and a half's drive due east from the game-rich core of the Serengeti – Seronera. The camp opened in July 2014 in an area that for more than 20 years had been closed to the public. Previously this region had exclusively been used for cheetah conservation and the number of big cats found here, especially lion prides and cheetahs, is astonishing.

Se retrouver à quelques mètres de ce magnifique félin c'est tout simplement WAHOUOOUUUU !!!
Son pelage fauve tacheté constitue un excellent camouflage qu'il soit au sol au milieu des buissons ou perché dans les branches d'un arbre. Il peut être juste à côté de vous et vous n'y voyez que du feu !
