~ After having ran past the feeding elephants the agile young leopard headed towards an area of long grass. Its pace was even, unhurried with the natural insouciance of one accustomed to undisturbed evening strolls. Ah, the confidence of leopards. Such a joy to observe firsthand. Not for them the anxious cowering of others. Supremely gifted with awareness, their intelligence knows how best to utilize their arsenal for defense and predation. The final glimpses of sunlight lit the leopard's profile as it surveyed the environs. The clean white tail tip provided a focal point in the golden grass as it walked away.
