A leopard (Panthera pardus) snarling and looking at the camera, Khwai Concession, Okavango Delta, Botswana. I spent a lot of time with this green eyed leopard, always keeping my distance so as not to disturb him, until he gave me this warning. I therefore gave up following him. It?s important to know their behavior and respect them.
