Nature One eyed lepard

One eyed lepard · **1 Like**

Theory was the eye had been lost getting upclose and personal with a spitting cobra.
Picture taken from about 4 meters while on game drive in open jeep. Was still hard to get good angles. You can´t leave the jeep and you can´t tell a lepard to change spot..........

You did a super job with the limitations you had... I love the lighting. Such a beautiful animal. I recently posted a photo of a one eyed horse. It is so strange photographing an animal with one eye as the eyes are so much the focal point. Thanks for sharing a special part of your journey.

Four metres is about as close as I would want to get.
Nice photo, shame about his eye.

Wonderful capture, hope it is still able to hunt effectively.

That is a beautiful cat. Looks healthy enough too. Thanks for sharing and I loved the comment about not "getting the leopard to change his spot."

Thanks.
Got within 3 m from a pride of 3 lions that allowed us to sit with them for 30-40 minutes. Think I filled a 16gb card just there and then.

It looked healthy and at full vigor so really didn´t seem to bother it at all.
