Early in the morning, we found this young male leopard patrolling his territory. Looking a little sorry for himself with blood stained front paws, he was still, in prime condition and certainly well fed. Using the vehicle main highways around the area, the trails were soft to the touch of the paws, but ultimately - silent, ideal if you were in 'stalking' mode.
Having the tyre tracks visible is not ideal, but as I said, they use the same pathways as we do and so I would take a shot like this anytime rather than not. :D Thanks to those who viewed or posted a comment on the previous thread.
