(Panthera Pardus)
Serengeti NP, Seronera area, Tanzania - August 2018
F 4/500mm

"Couple of leopards in love very elusive": The day was almost over and the sun was already going down but still slowly. Suddenly on the radio they report a pair of leopards in a tree. We head towards the sighting area and there we see the two leopards quietly perched on the branches of an acacia tree in total relaxation. It is very difficult to spot a couple of leopards together unless it is a couple in love (as in this case) or a female with her cub. The light was not very good but suddenly the sun made its way through the clouds and the two leopards lit up with a wonderful twilight light. Then they decided to get off the tree and we followed them to the last ray of light immortalizing one of the two in this elusive shot! Thank you for giving us these wonderful emotions ...

If you want to see other shots about it go to ... Africa - Tanzania
