Leopard Relaxing
A young female leopard finds a bit of shade in the last afternoon. She settled down at the edge of the brush and sat still for a few minutes. The tsetse flies were bothersome, so she started flicking her tail to keep them away. Eventually they drove her (and us) away from the area.
