Leopard on a Hunt
This is the same female leopard as the one on the homepage. We were looking for predators during a night drive in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia when we spotted her prowling in the grass towards a herd of puku. I turned off my flash, and using only the light from the spotlight, panned the shot from my monopod.
The pukus spotted her and ran away. We spotted another leopard and her teenage cub a few kilometres further. That was a good night drive!
