~ The highlight of the safari in Samburu Nature Reserve was prolonged, close range observation of a young female Panthera pardus, Leopard, 豹, on two successive days…she was a stealthy huntress, resulting in the rapid capture of a Xerus rutilus, Unstriped Ground Squirrel, 無紋地松鼠…a herd of napping elephants with several babies was seemingly undisturbed by her hunting…her unfluttered disposition facilitated these close range images which are a sample taken from hundreds of others…these are all handheld, natural light images, with minimal or no post-processing
