Caught in the middle
Not minding a rule of thirds or any other convention I just tried unsuccessfully to snap the beauty and flexibility of this marvelous creature. No stalking, pounding and strangling involved now. Caught in the middle of play with its roomie at Björnpark Grönklitt.

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.
