Leopard in tree
Leopard feeding. Leopard (Panthera pardus) feeding on a kill in a tree. This solitary carnivore is almost completely nocturnal, spending its days resting in the branches of trees, which it climbs with great agility. After a kill has been made, the leopard will often drag the carcass up into a tree and devour it there, or store it for future consumption out of the reach of scavengers. P. pardus is found in wooded savannah and forests throughout sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia. Photographed in the Mala Mala Game Reserve, South Africa

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Leopard in its natural habitat. The majestic creature, known as Panthera pardus, is seen feeding on a kill high up in a tree. With its striking spotted coat and piercing eyes, this solitary carnivore exemplifies the beauty and power of the animal kingdom. Leopards are predominantly nocturnal creatures, spending their days resting among the branches of trees with remarkable agility. After successfully hunting down its prey, it will often drag the carcass up into a tree for consumption or safekeeping away from scavengers. The photograph was taken in the Mala Mala Game Reserve located in South Africa's breathtaking wilderness. This reserve provides an ideal environment for these elusive creatures to thrive amidst wooded savannahs and forests throughout sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia. As an endangered species, every sighting of this rare big cat is truly special. Its presence reminds us of both nature's delicate balance and our responsibility to protect these magnificent animals from further harm. This stunning image serves as a testament to the wonders of wildlife photography captured by Science Photo Library—an organization dedicated to showcasing nature's splendor while raising awareness about conservation efforts worldwide.
