      I used to use a 600 mm but especially for Africa, most of the time it's too much. Lately, I use a 500mm and put on a convertor if I need to. Much more practical... Posted 10 years ago

The Leopard

The leopard is one of the five "big cats" in the genus "Panthera". It is a member of the Felidae family with a wide range in regions of sub-Saharan Africa, West Asia, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia to Siberia. Fossil records found in Italy suggest that in the Pleistocene it ranged as far as Europe.
