A leopard hides in the brush beneath a large acacia tree. We only know that she is there because someone saw her descend from the tree earlier. Even though we are only feet away she is barely visible. The density of the brush makes it difficult to auto focus, and so I switch to manual. I imagine that a lone gazelle walking through this acacia forest could easily fall prey to this animal, completely unaware of its proximity. Although their striking, spotted coat would seem to make it stand out it actually helps disguise them in a number of environments. She is aware of our presence, but at least for now, we don't represent a threat. #ILoveWildlife #ILoveAfrica #WildlifePhotography in #Tanzania #BigFive #Cats #Leopards #BigCats
