One of my favourite Leopard images from the Tiger Kingdom of Ranthambhore.
Leopards are a relatively elusive presence in Ranthambhore, living in a landscape dominated by another formidable predator. Here, they are constantly on the lookout, which is perhaps why you’ll often find them perched high in the trees, surveying their surroundings from a safe vantage point.
A couple of years ago, on a hot yet breezy summer afternoon, I came across this gorgeous female near Sultanpur Chowki in Zone 1 of the park. We spent a little time with her before leaving her to go about her afternoon undisturbed.
