International Leopard Day.
Gave myself a kick up the backside to get some more images on here, leopards being the perfect motivator of course. Sorry/not sorry for the number of images here, but this encounter with Ndoto and her cub Namunyak was one of the most amazing experiences, and just too cute not to share their shenanigans. Taken in the Mara North Conservancy (Masai Mara, Kenya) back in November while staying at Offbeat Mara Camp with Natures Images. This pair were so relaxed with us watching, that even though we would try to keep a respectful distance they would have different ideas (see pic with vehicle) - the joy of a quiet conservancy with few vehicles.
Look out for the cubs unique white rear right paw.
