17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Figs Perch
After hours of searching we finally found her, Fig, a well-known leopard of the Maasai Mara. After her meal, Fig perched herself high in a tree to scan the area for baboons while her young cub, Fraha ate. Fig has lost two cubs to baboons in recent years so she was incredibly alert and cautious.
