Leopard (Panthera pardus)
« on: January 28, 2013, 05:27:37 PM »

We saw leopards twice along our Safari in 2009. Both times in the Serengeti. Here are a few shots from those encounters.

This may well have been the highlight of the Safari for me, although, the whole Safari was pretty much one GIANT highlight!
