Stunning set of images. The rather unique tail shot makes me smile.

I have those tooyou lucky so-and-so
the only Leopard i have ever seen resulted in a great photo of its disappearing tail :(
Excellent set.For @Yezdi - I do not have so many leopards as lion, but here is the one I promised.
This is a typical leopard sighting, when (s)he does not vanish within a heartbeat!
We were at Lake Panic Bird Hide for some time and then left about noon. Just before you get to the hide, there is a dry steam bed. in the road.
For years we always slow down when driving through these dry streams, hoping to see some cat!
This was our lucky day!
#1 The moving tail was all we saw, and that because the tail was up at the time. Check his nose - already upset that he was seen!
#2 He was aware of us and already had enough of the paparazzi.
# 3 is the get-up and walk away without bothering to look back!
