Leopards will often drag a kill up into a tree to hide it from scavengers, primarily hyenas. You can see a bit of the impala that this leopard was keeping watch over. We saw her go up and down the tree a few times over the course of a day in the Masai Mara of Kenya. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 350mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/160th of a second.
So beautiful! I know how excited I was – and still am – to see that Mama Bear and her cub loping along a cart path outside my lanai. I can’t imagine what it would be like to see a leopard in her own habitat!

What’s a guy gotta do to get a picture of an eel around here? A nice, simple, wholesome eel.
Fabulous detail in this shot! You can even see his eyelashes! A beautiful and breathtaking moment. They are simply amazing to see in the wild.
You can tell he is on guard and not to be messed with
Such a great close up
