Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow

Amazing pics. Was that the same animal being taken down as was in the first shot?

That is pretty amazing
I wasn't upset about the black cat crossing my path this morning but mouthing "your fu@#ed" as he passed was just rude.

Fantastic, Wouter! Did you take those pics? If so, in the interest in improving my budding photography skills, I'd be interested in knowing the particulars of the shot, camera settings, and gear used.

Here is the link guys, pics at the top and video lower down.


http://www.wildcard.co.za/blog.htm?action=view-post&id=4058

This is why you dont mess with a Leopard, it's speed and agility are amazing. You can hear the camera's shutter in the background.

Sorry but you will have to copy and paste, cant get the link to come on so you can just click it.

Yes Wouter its amazing the speed she has, you can see her adjust her position and its over in a second or two. I guess thats why wounded Leopards are so dangerous.
