Could have been Glove, Hand, Insect.

Was thinking glove but preferred Giant Moth and didn't think of Insect.

Great shot how did you get it? The Leopard gaze is intent on something, lucky it was not the bloke holding the camera.

From a Land Cruiser, the safari vehicle used in Tanzania. The cat was stalking through the grass, but there was no apparent prey, unlike the cheetah with her cub who was clearly interested in a group of Thomson's gazelles. Leopards really like to drop from a branch onto prey, and they are especially fond of medium gazelles (Thomson's, Grant's, impala) and dik-dik.

They must be very familiar with the Safari vehicles and ignore them. I have always thought of leopards as cautious cats.

Cats, elephants and many of the larger birds & birds of prey are oblivious or nearly so to vehicles; gazelles, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffes are more skittery and tend to move off to their perception of a safe distance. The female cheetah & her cub we observed stalking Thomson's gazelles started on one side of the road then crossed between two vehicles apparently using one as a shield between herself and the prey. Big cats, lions/cheetahs, have been known to jump onto hoods/bonnets & roofs of tourist vehicles, and in one video clip I saw, a cheetah peed down through the open roof scattering the occupants. Hooray for the kitty!

O - Overcast

It is fascinating how most animals ignore you when you're in a vehicle, even a completely open one, but get very skittish when they see you on foot. Well, not the elephants so much, if you just sit still. Then they can come really close.

And the new flickr interface is seriously annoying. I think I need to find a different place for sharing photos...
