2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Leopard, Kafue National Park, Botswana
Leopard Snarl

Species: Leopard | Location: Kafue National Park, Botswana

We encountered this leopard in a roadside ditch at dusk. She did not appear to be disturbed by our presence, despite the headlights that illuminated her head. Was it a yawn or a snarl of challenge. After a few minutes she climbed out of the ditch and quietly sauntered away into the night.
