A very apt title. It is so comfortable. The curled in paws and the tail gives such a snuggy feeling :). It still has its ears raised, to pick in sounds of the jungle. Loved the composition. Very nice capture. Thanks for sharing.

Thats a lovely pose. Safe on the branches of a tall tree like a kid on mothers lap. How much a tree means to everyone and we insensitive folks thoughtlessly cut down trees.
Hopefully soon I can see such a sight again. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Wonderful shot of a Leopard trying to sleep on top a tree.Its eyes are open and it is vigilant.Animals never sleep like humans and they get up at a slight disturbance.

Wonderful pose. It started feeling sleepy during the day even when so many tourists are around! Your timing is perfect. Even while sleeping, the hearing senses in animals remain active.Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Nice image of the leopard trying to wind up for the day, Shyamalaji. The alert ears signify sleep is very light and the minutest movement or sound can wake up the beautiful spotted animal. Thanks for sharing.
