Protective Leopard Mom

Species: Panthera pardus pardus/African Leopard | Location: Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

By Barbara Hayton

This leopard mom was guiding her cubs through the grassy Serengeti plains as vehicles lined the rutted dirt road to watch and get their pictures. Being a good mom, she stayed close to her cub keeping him from straying too close to the road.

About The Photographer

Cropped barbara hayton 1

I've been a passionate nature photographer for about 15 years and being out with wildlife in their natural habitat is my absolute favorite. I travel as much as I can to see the many different, wonderful species and my recent trip to Tanzania was the highlight of my life…so far.
