The baby leopard
On an afternoon game drive, we came across an unusual sighting of a baby leopard superbly resting between a forked tree trunk. Our guests had seen nearly all the animals the previous day with the exception of a leopard and were eagerly looking all over as we drove around the rocky outcrops when we suddenly came upon this beauty in a very relaxed mood. The mother whom we have in the past seen around the same spot was on this day conspicuously absent, but due to the relaxed nature of the baby we knew she could be around watching us.
