He looks innocent enough, but only moments after this photo was taken, he snuck up to our picnic table and stole my youngest daughter's cheese sandwich.

Female leopard. Our tracker Aurela had spotted her prints by a watering hole the night before, and another tracker found her near that spot the next day. She was making her way along the river, and Omega got us these amazing views by pluging the jeep headlong throught the brush to the river's edge just ahead of her path. Probably the most beautiful animal I've ever seen.
