Leopard in a Tree
Although we had a brief sighting of a Leopard on our way into Samburu National Reserve last evening, he was running through the grass and sunset was fast approaching.
We spotted this Leopard early in the morning and spent the next 4+ hours expecting him to come down from the tree. He stayed in the tree the entire time and managed to find several different postures to sleep the time away.
Here is a great photograph of him looking right at us.

The Grevy's Zebra has a much different color pattern than the Burchell's Zebra.
Compare the two animals to see the difference.
