Came back from bandipur today.Had no luck with the striped cat,but spots did not disappoint me.Was luckey to sight this mating pair,but it was out of reach for my lens & the light was bad.This img is almost 65% crop.
Bandipur is really boring without the tigress (Gowri),really miss her a lot:(

Nice to find that you have observed two leopards in their natural habitat. They are much more stealthy mammals, you should be happy. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Interesting to see the mating pair of leopards on the ground. Wish you were closer. Nevertheless watching leopards in the wild is a nice experience. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Quite rare sighting of a leopard pair. Wish you had got one of them looking towards you. It is always a pleasure to sight a cat :). Thanks for sharing.

Lovely picture Suraj. Its great that you could spot 2 leopards together. Did you hang on for some more time to see what happened next? Did they mate again? Thanks for sharing.
