Species: Leopard (With Impala) | Location: Linyanti , Botswana
A young female leopard had killed a pregnant impala but was not strong enough to get it up a tree. She had a chance to feed a little the afternoon we found her but the next day the carcass had been dragged off - perhaps by crocodiles.
I like the one eye in direct sunlight.
About The Photographer
I like to take pictures as a visual diary of our trips. I am influenced by NPS photographer George Grant's comment: Grant told the audience: “You fellows are living in the most beautiful parts of the country. You have pictures almost anywhere you look. If you haven’t already adopted photography as a hobby it is because there must be a screw loose somewhere.” Cited from the NPCA.org website reviewing "Landscapes for the People" by Ren and Helen Davis.Vote for this photo in the Nat Hab's 2024 Guest Photo Contest People’s Choice Awards!
