Description
A year on from when I last visited the Safari park it seems the Leopards(Panthera Pardus) are thriving, I like their enclosure because it uses glass (or polycarbonate?) so you dont have chain-link fence patterns in photo's. I cant say for sure which of their two leopards was the one in "leopard drinking" but it may have been this one.This leopard seemed to notice something or someone which allowed me to capture it looking intently towards me but not directly at me.

Jeeze man that stare while in an area unprotected from him/her. Scary thought.

yeah, I did see the two leopards have a brief 'play-fight' you would not beleive the speed/agility of these cats even if it was just a tumble in the dirt - needless to say I didnt get pics of them fighting, but did capture the aftermath with much bearing of fangs at one another...
They'll be uploaded as soon as my crappy net connection manages to talk to the DA servers...
