This image shows how hard the leopard is trying to keep the hare within its jaws without falling off. but, as these cats can even drag a spotted deer up a tree, this difficulty might have been due to the decision of walking fast because of the presence of a vehicle?

Nice image overall, but wish you had cropped more from the left to avoid the hind legs completely or should have included the entire leopard in the frame (if it was so in the original).

Did you find it eating the hare? The stretched legs of the hare look good:D Cropping more from the left to avoid one leg completely would have been better. Every time I see this series, how much I wish you had eye contact with the leopard. Thanks for sharing.

Yes it can be noticed that the leopard was trying hard to not let the hare fall off. The details are nice. If you have cropped it, then I agree including the leg would be good. Thanks for sharing.

In both the previous images some leaves can be seen in the jaw of the leopard along with the hare. I guess it was trying to get rid of the leaves to strengthen the grip . Enjoying your consecutive leopard series Praveen.
