Kabini Leopards are not afraid of humans or safari canters ..This big male leopard is the one among them..I saw this guy several times,very close to safari canters or jeeps... Also marking territory wr big tigers rules....

Truly a magnificent male. Nice take. Colours have come out well. This can take on a male Sambar ! Thanks for sharing.

Great posture. Nicely done.

Big male. Solid neck muscles. So it can hunt a nice sambar. This reminds us of Jim Corbett's stories of leopard jumping on the back of Sambar and instead of killing it instantly driving it towards dense jungle so that killing and hiding would be easier. It is certainly a nice sight with such a powerful predator prowling in the jungle. Thanks for sharing.

Nice sighting in the open. Liked the composition and good details on the skin. Was it crossing the road? Thanks for sharing.
