Description


I took this image of the leopard female in the Thorny Bush Private Game Reserve in South Africa. This old gal is 13 years old. You can see that the hair at the top of her ears are virtually all gone! However, she has got poise and still carry herself with pride. She was also still in very good condition last year in June when this pic was taken. My favourite cat by far!!! Thank you for stopping by my gallery and for any comments you wish to make. Hugs, Carin xx

Predators, I think, have a kind of assured dignity which you've captured very well indeed! Lovely work. Hugs, Mike

Darling, what an amazing capture. She is so well camouflaged. I am amazed that you were even able to see her let alone capture the picture. I have that feeling she was peering right back in the camera lens at you. To me she looks like she could spring into motion anytime. This is National Geographic quality... or better. And yes, the clock is ticking baby. smiles 143. Bruce.
