An African leopard in the Londolozi Private Game Reserve, South Africa
Nighttime is the right time to see the African leopard out and about, hunting and maybe stopping by the watering hole for a drink. These powerful cats also spend time up in trees, where it’s safe for sleeping during daylight hours as well as a good spot to take a meal. Some observers have reported seeing these leopards drag a carcass twice their own body weight up into a tree—imagine that kind of strength, and be glad you don’t have leopards in your backyard.
