Kitty in a tree (South Africa style)
Sep 17, 2017 08:35:36 #
Leopards are often attacked and killed by lions, so they tend to hang out and sleep in high spots - including trees. It was always exciting and not unusual to see a leopard sleeping in a tree. They also often drag their kill into a tree - I have one photo of a large impala (one of the antelopes of the region) hanging about fifty feet up in a tree! It was very exciting, though, to see this wide-awake kitty up in a tree - especially since the late afternoon sun was illuminating him in such a fantastic light.

Great shots. Feline behavior is the same across species. Who has a domestic house cat that had not been in the exact poses as this magnificent leopard?

Very nice set. I really like the last one with his (her) eyes showing. Did you see many leopards? And was it common to see them up in trees?
