It’s always exciting to see a leopard. This mother of a one year old cub kept finding her way in front of my camera. Over a two day period, we saw her lounging in a tree, stalking prey from a termite mound, prowling through the tall grass of the Botswanan savanna, and filling up at a water hole.

Thanks Jill. Just before this, she had dropped down from a tree in an unsuccessful attempt to grab a grazing impala. Unfortunately, we were a few minutes late for that moment, but this was a nice consolation.

With his little tongue sticking out it looks so sweet and loving and the colors are amazing great job
Thanks Karen. Although she didn’t look too sweet a few moments earlier when she was stalking a group of impala. They are beautiful creatures though.
Fantastic shot, Sean! The light is wonderful!
Thanks Rachel. The fur of lions and leopards really absorbs light well and is quite forgiving, even when that sun gets a little higher in the sky.
What an absolutely beautiful photo!!
Thanks Grace.
