Halftail and her cub dragging her kill to a safer place.
We spent our entire African Safari looking for a Leopard to photograph. We were finally rewarded late one evening, in the Masai Mara, when we found 'Halftail' the Leopard in an Acacia Tree with a Thomson's Gazelle she had just killed. She had a half grown cub with her in the grass near the tree.
It was too dark to photograph that evening but we knew she would keep her kill up the tree that night so we returned at first light the next morning. 'Halftail' probably decided there was too much commotion in the area and decided to move her kill to some nearby heavy brush.
We were perfectly positioned for us to catch the sequence of her running straight down the big Acacia Tree with the kill in her month.
