Nikon 850+200-500 F/5.6 ISO4000 .This was before he descended and crossed behind the vehicle .As I had mentioned earlier it was difficult to get a clear shot through the thick foliage and intervening branches but any glimpse of this exotic aberration of nature was precious .
Pretty amazing to see this elusive cat, Shyamalaji. While just a brief glimpse of the black panther is in the wish list of many, you have been fortunate to not only photograph this cat but also able to observe it in action. Super expressive eyes and beautiful velvety coat documented very nicely. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent capture Shyamlaji! Actually I like this one better than the previous one. Reminds me of Bagheera from the famous novel Jungle Book. Thanks for sharing.
Another excellent shot Shyamalaji! Your both the pictures of Black Panther are amazing! Keep sharing such amazing pictures with us! :)
You have got it nicely through the trees and the vegetation. The green eyes are so captivating against the dark coat. Its surely is a blessed feeling to watch this amazing creation of nature. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see another image of melanistic leopard. Wish the tree in front was not there. I wonder how the regular leopards view the melanistic ones. Do they call them blackie? :) Or racism is only present with us humans?
Good one!Its nice to see the Leopard gazing upwards at something.The balck panther sighting quite good at Kabini except when we made a visit!
