Male Leopard - Okavango Delta, Botswana by Sharon Bishop
This magnificent male leopard was perched on a termite mound, barely 50 mtrs from a pair of male lions on a baby elephant kill in the Okavango Delta. They all knew one another was there. When the tension became too much, one of lions dragged the rest of the kill into a thicket to escape the prying eyes of the leopard. The leopard got up to get a better view and wait his chance to grab a few scraps.

excellent shot – there’s something so much more ‘alive’ about animals photographed in the wild and this shows it nicely!
Thanks berndt2 – I couldn’t agree more about animals photographed in the wild.
