I spent 5 weeks ( 2 trips of 2/3 weeks, a year apart) with this bros and sister pair of very comfortable Leopards watching them develop into wily hunters, oddly enough their mother
did not share this level of comfort, never letting me get any closer than 100 metres.
Here the young male is around 18 mths old granting me this side profile portrait well after the sun had set, wherein the D5 really comes into it's own.
Nikon D5
Nikkor 400E FL f/2.8
f/2.8
1/400s
ISO25600
The HD file is worth a look.
Looking like it was taken in a studio, and with the last vestiges of light, his sister has my attention as she looks out from the fig tree scouting for prey.

Mum calls........and her 2 (sub adult) cubs come running.
Nikon D500
Nikkor 500E PF FL f/2.8
f/5.6
1/1600s

Hangin' out with sis.
Nikon D850
Nikkor 70-200E FL f/2.8
f/6.3

Early evening and the young male is lounging on a termite mound.
