Lounging Leopard

We came across this leopard just as we were started to head back to camp. We were the only vehicle there and got to spend a good 20 minutes observing this leopard in the tree. Just loved how the leopard had found the perfect resting spot to just lounge around with the gentle curves of the tree.
