This is a series of photographs of a leopard that I took on Shamwari Game Reserve. Leopards are a very rare to see as they keep themselves hidden away, so to be lucky enough to sit with this leopard for around 45 minutes was like a dream. She was very relaxed in our presence which allowed me to take these beautiful shots. Leopards are listed as "Near Threatened" on the Red Data book, and this is due to habitat loss, trophy hunting and poaching.
