14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A female leopard emerges in the evening to scan the horizon.
While on safari in the Serengeti, our guide was alerted to the presence of a leopard nearby. This majestic female leopard had emerged at twilight to warm herself on the rocks, and scan the horizon for possible hunting opportunities. Only in person can you appreciate the breathtaking beauty and elegance of such a creature.
