Great shots - you are very lucky to have the opportunity to encounter creatures like that in the wild!

Re: GESO: Leopard
A panther is like a leopard Except that it hasn't been peppered. If you behold a panther crouch, Prepare to say ouch! Better yet, if called by a panther, Don't anther. --Ogden Nash On Mar 22, 2014, at 04:15 , Alan C wrote: > In 37 years we must have spent about 400 days in Kruger yet have only had 7 > Leopard sightings, none close.

RE: GESO: Leopard
Excellent capture! From trying to capture shots of animals in Namibia and SA I know how challenging it is to see wild animals, let alone capture a decent photo.

Alan, Excellent catch! Now that you've seen one maybe you'll see more. I especially like photos 1 and 2. (Close enough to invite him/her over for lunch?) Regards, Bob S.

GESO: Leopard
In 37 years we must have spent about 400 days in Kruger yet have only had 7 Leopard sightings, none close. I am very sceptical of people who claim to see Leopards almost every time they visit the Park. These are not the greatest of images but they are proof that we spotted a Leopard in the late afternoon about 150m distant near Letaba Camp. All with the K7 & FA 100-300. All cropped. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/sets/72157642723725995/ Alan C --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
