The Tree Climbing Feline! - a photo on Flickriver

            Distinguished by its exceptionally beautiful, black-spotted coat, the Leopard (Panthera pardus) is also recognised for its supreme stealth and its remarkable versatility. Despite being the smallest of the ‘big cats’, the leopard is the most widespread of all wild cat species, and is well known for the variety of prey it takes, as well as its ability to occupy a range of habitats, from deserts and mountains to jungles and swamps.

Having finished eating his breakfast up an acacia tree, this magnificent male Leopard finally climbed down and gave us some amazing poses before jumping to the ground. 

Photographed during a photography safari on an early morning game drive during a in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
