Amazing views of an adolescent leopard

Changing frequency on the ‘aerial’ and we were hot in pursuit of another female. This time we had better luck. The ‘pings’ got louder as we approached a clearing and, out of seemingly nowhere, she appeared. Having never seen an African Leopard before I was mesmerised. All she was doing was walking along, but she did so with such elegance and grace, and her markings were beautiful. Why anyone would want to kill one of these animals is beyond me. We managed to follow her for a little while until she disappeared into thick bush. I would have been content with just this sighting for the whole trip, but on to plan C - go and search for another one!
