Leopard Kill

We followed this mature male early one evening - and he brought down a Nyala Antelope. 5 minutes later Hyenas stole his kill as he headed for a tree.

  1. Did you uses torch light for this one or was it actually a normal flash and a lot of guts? There is even beauty in death, there certainly is. Posted 13 years ago
  2. Well, that's life... There certainly is beauty even in death, and this scene is a fantastic capture of a moment of real life... Posted 13 years ago

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.
