17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A picture of a Leopard peering through some grass

The picture is showing an elusive African leopard in its natural habitat. It is the first time me and my family saw it in the wild, and the moment just had to be captured. In the photo, this Leopard is seen keeping an eye out for potential threats to its cubs, like Baboons or Hyenas
