Leopard sleeping after a big lunch

One morning we went for a particularly early start to visit the area where this leopard cubs, around six months old, was known to be hanging out with its mother. For the first hour or so the light was dreadful, but we got to see the cub moving around freely, pretending to stalk wildebeest...

This female leopard had hunted a gazelle with success, and we just managed to see her before she vanished into the bushes. Rumour had it that she had a cub, and fortunately there just the two cars, and so she did get to move on in peace.

I was pretty lucky with leopard sightings on this trip. However, it was peak season in the Mara and wherever there was even a rumour of a leopard madness ensued. A few times I asked my driver to leave the area because there was no point in staying when cars ended up racing around senselessly...

It came out of the bushes and stared at us for a few seconds. It felt like forever. Young Leopard (Panthera pardus) at Tsavo West, Kenya.

stunning male leopard one of six I saw in the Serengeti it had a young zebra at the bottom of the tree obviously to tired to carry it up

Unbelievably close , what an encounter.

The way the leopard moves here, slightly crouching, striding out, just strikes me as the quintessential large cat showing off its power.

Not exactly the best photo I've ever taken, but if you do manage to see a leopard in a tiger reserve you've got to document it, don't you? In particular if you see tiger and leopard on the same day (if not on the same drive). We very briefly saw the leopard but it vanished into the forest as we...

We had been searching for several days, hoping to see a leopard. Finally, we spotted one hiding in the vegetation along the side of the road. I was so lucky to be able to get a close up shot of him before he quietly slinked back into the shadows.

This female leopard fled into a tree when a lone (and clearly unhealthy) immature lion happened by and smelled her kill, an impala. I hadn't realized these big cats could move quite so fast. Greased lightning comes to mind - none of us got a picture of this, although we could see the lion...
