Spot the leopard!

At one point the leopard sat up and after a while laid down again and we could not see him again so we though he had crawled away. But then it flicked its ear and I noticed he was still lying rigth in front of us. App. 6 meters from the car.

When he sat with his head highest I choose to shoot a little video so did not get any photos of that as he laid down again and we were pressed for time as the gate to our camp would close at sunset and we were app 45 min drive away so we stayed as long as we could.

yeah, it's amazing how well they blend in. Like you said, even when you know exactly where they are, sometimes you still can't see them.
Nice work :)

great photo
do you mind if i use it in my classroom during my Ecology unit.
I could use this for "protective coloration" I have other photos, but none as good as this.

Amazing, simply amazing, Tommy. KUDOS.


Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.
