Leopard

Leopards are shy, solitary animals and hard to spot. In the delta, we met the super model of leopards. She was sauntering around and posing on logs and termite mounds while 50 people clamored for photos. Actually, she was taking care of business, trying to ignore the chaos and hunt for food for herself and her cub. Leopards' kills are frequently stolen by lions and hyenas, so that drag their prey up into trees. They can climb carrying more than twice their own weight!
