Front Yard Visitor

Taken in front of staff housing at a camp in the Sabi Sands area bordering Kruger Park in S Africa. This leopard had just caught an impala and climbed the nearest  tree to escape hyenas. We pulled up just as the leopard was climbing and heard the adults telling kids "to get inside and stay inside". Nikon D 750 and 24-120 lens at 1/500, f/11 and Auto ISO at 220. Richard

What a great visit Richard. It is amazing how strong they are to get that huge antelope all the way up that tree. I guess you don't want to disturb it too much when it has a kill it is working on.
