Leopard

Kruger National Park, South Africa

I was in the process of putting my camera away because it was too dark to take any decent pictures when a fellow traveller could not believe his eyes as we passed this leopard lying along the side of the road. Going in reverse and coming to a quick stop scared the leopard away. As we came to a stop I did take this picture without regard to shutter speed. This blurred picture along with a short video clip is the only evidence we had to show the others that we DID see a leopard -- one of the big five.
