~ With the briefest of advance preparation, the female leopard we'd been observing went down from the tree. She began striding along with striking determination. Anthony quietly repositioned the safari van in advance of where he felt she might go. His intuition resulted in these photographs, showing her passing near the safari van. What is not shown is that during this sequence at one point she looked directly up at us and tightened her shoulder muscles, as if she was seriously considering a leap. When Anthony saw that, he immediately moved. All-in-all a close range encounter with an active leopard unlike any other.
