19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Leap of Faith

We stopped to watch a confrontation between some baboons and this leopard. The baboons were taunting the leopard. The leopard would occasionally growl at them. The baboons were quite noisy. The leopard eventually climbed down the tree a little and suddenly jumped to an adjacent tree.
