Leopard up a tree - a classic!

I've been hunting for a leopard up a tree for along time so this was an unexpected pleasure during what was a wet and cold trip into the jungle. It was fantastic to see the cat in it's natural setting.

The Indian leopard

The Indian leopard is a leopard subspecies widely distributed on the Indian subcontinent and classified as "Near Threatened" by IUCN since 2008. The species "Panthera pardus" may soon qualify for the "Vulnerable" status due to habitat loss and fragmentation, heavy poaching for the illegal trade of skins and body parts in Asia, and persecution due to conflict situations.
