From Londolozi Game Reserve, The Week in Pictures #231, by Andrea Campbell:

"The Tamboti Young Female watches a herd of impala from the fork of a marula tree. Leopards use trees as comfortable resting spots, to stash their kills but also because they provide fantastic vantage points to scan for prey."

"The Kunyuma male stares directly into the camera. It was a treat to see this particular male leopard as he is not one we see very often."
