African Leopards

[Tshokwane]

FJ Mammes Photography:
This morning we spotted this beauty while out on a safari 


As we arrived at the sighting of this majestic beast, he almost immediately went into full stalking mode as he saw some Impala's on the other side of our vehicle... As the Adrenalin starts to pump through everyone's blood the Leopard started moving slowly closer until it was right next to Kenneth's(my fellow guide) Open Safari Vehicle.

After minute or so the leopard was Literally underneath Kenneth's Vehicle with only a tail sticking out from underneath, and then as the Impala's moved out of our sight the Leopard quickly moved closer but in the end was spotted by his prey and he failed to make his kill.

A Sighting doesn't get better that this.

This guy is completely focused and doesn't care about the many cars around him...
