Leopards are very strong and are capable of dragging their prey up into trees — even large prey like this gazelle. They will do this to keep other carnivores like hyenas and baboons from stealing the kill. At first, we only saw the gazelle up in the tree while the leopard was nowhere to be found. We decided to leave for an hour or two and then circled back later to find her feeding.
Fantastic shot of the leopard with it’s kill. I wanted a shot like that while in South Luangwa Nat. Park but did not see it. I did get some shots of leopard and leopard kills but not together. Maybe another time. Great job!
Great shot. Beautiful creature and at the same time “red in tooth and claw.” I imagine quite a few Homo erectus individuals ended up balanced on a limb back when.

This is an incredible shot Sean. Very nicely done.
