Leopard collection - A favorite big cat :)

Bryan Pereira · Dec 31, 2024

Im used to seeing lions and cheetahs on a daily basis on safari. Over the years I've probably encountered at least 40 leopards and got to know them so well that the park rangers gave me the honor to name one a few years back. My record was spotting three in one day but that was extremally lucky, normally its around three per week. I think the elusiveness is why they have now become the mammal I make it a priority to find.

Here are some of my favorite encounters. All have interesting stories, the leopard hunting low to the ground was taken at 20,000 iso. I couldn't see anything at all but the camera managed to pick it up.

D810, D850
200 - 400 f4, 200-500 5.6, 28-300 3.5
