The beautiful shape of the African leopard

The African leopards are one of the most beautiful animals. We were followed a mating leopards in the rainy weather, when suddenly the male came out from the bush and was lying down near the road. There was a moment when he turned and his beautiful body formed an S shape. I was sure, that I have to memorize this moment which reflecting back his beauty.
