Lone man standing

The light was fading, safari coming to an end, all hopes lost and yet, out of nowhere appeared the ghost of the jungle. He stared at us silently, as we held our breath, and within a few seconds vanished into the undergrowth.
A magical sighting.

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.
