How well the Leopard is camouflaged with the surroundings.You may miss it on first look!The animals in Kabini are used to the safari cars and dont bother much about their presence.

The low angle looks great. The direct stare enhances the composition. Good details on the coat. This one has a quite a dangerous look :). Thanks for sharing.

Wow! What a look! Gods have blessed you with such a lovely sighting.

The coat is very richly patterned with close-set jet-black spots and rosettes, a few near solid black spots as usual. The ear-spots present, as in the tiger, are noticeable.
May be this beautiful leopard has parentage in the black leopard of Kabini!
Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Lovely image. I can only image what it must feel like to sight a leopard out in the open. I still keep longing for the day when I will sight a leopard in the open. Thanks for sharing.
