Believe it or not, but in the middle of this picture there’s a leopard hidden in the grass. Don’t worry; If I didn’t see her walk in there I wouldn’t have known it either.
Luckily she grew tired of her hiding spot, got up and walked into even denser vegetation, allowing just one quickly fired shot as proof…
This leopard was lying not two meters from our car and was totally invisible – what wonderful camouflage these cats have!
(Seen along the H3-road just south of Skukuza on Friday last week as we were departing from the Kruger National Park)

Shoe… ‘n koue rilling het nou net my rug af gehol! My mind returned to my land survival course in the Klaserie… imagine if a leopard had hidden where I walked!!
Master of camouflage for sure!
Wow!
Indeed!
Just beautiful! Such an amazing animal!
Absolutely! Always a wonderful experience when encountering a leopard.
Just goes to show what amazing camo they have been provided.
Astonishing, isn’t it!?
Wow!! Gives me goosebumps☺️
I was dumbstruck!
Yes, I am sure!! 🐆
The Creator of all can be credited for the hiding places and the camouflage.
And what a Creation it is, Beth!
It’s always refreshing to see your world via this blog!
The only song I can think of to pair with this one would be Bowie’s ‘Cat People.”
I don’t necessarily consider myself a cat person, unless we’re talking about cats like these!
si.. cats like those are the ones that prompt artists to capture the power,the beauty, the strength, the magnificence!
Was this early morning? I’ve spent many mornings waiting for elusive leopards in Kruger NP and in the Serengeti. Always so well hidden, stealthily waiting for breakfast.
Indeed it was just before sunrise. They are brilliant at hiding!
Aha ek sien en sien
Houdini sou so trots gewees het op hierdie luiperd wat mens se oe so kan verkul!
