Leopard (hiding in plain sight)

Panthera pardus pardus

Description:

Can you find him? Each successive picture give a closer and better view, very much how this cat was revealed to us. The leopard is the most sought after of the 'BIG-5' among safari goers and for good reason, as they are extremely difficult to find, and many people visit Africa multiple times without making a sighting of this elusive big cat.

Habitat:

Chobe. It was by the network of guides, who contact each other via radio that found this lovely cat

Notes:

This is one of two spottings for the same cat, as I got 50 photos and couldn't pare down to 6

Ashley, you have so many I'm jealous of: Hartebeast, sunbirds, all the frog and snakes :)

I dont think people generally realize how they can hide in plain sight. I know I didn't... not sure if I"d have spotted this on my own.
