Leopard on the Rock/Kabini#2

[Praveen Siddannavar]

This is another image from the same series of "Leopard on the Rock", that I shot recently at Kabini. It was interesting to see this leopard rub his chin to the tree trunk reassuring that its his territory. One of the best sightings I have ever had of a leopard in recent times.

Nice image, full of emotion.May be it is 'marking of territory', however, I find in this image an eternal love, as if a child rubbing its face on the mother's body.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice behavior captured. Liked the composition and the details. Had not seen a leopard doing this before. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice pose. Wish you had better light. This looks like a large crop. Overall mood well captured. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
