This is Big Boy, the huge 4 yr old male Leopard standing guard over a Zebra foal he had killed
the night before.
Whilst nothing particularly outstanding about this image it does show the difficulties in trying to track down Leopards, particularly males during the day time. We were fortunate to find this big guy out in the open and tracked him through the very dense thorn scrub where he led us to his prey which you can just make out on the right, trying to get a clear image was not easy! Almost FF, cropped top & bottom to pano.
