Trees offer leopards a comfortable and stable resting place away from disturbances on the ground and enjoy some chill time above the ground. Photographed in Sabi Sands, Greater Kruger NP, South Africa with a Nikon D810 at 280mm. Adding a fill-flash took away unnecessary shadows and created nice catch light in the eyes. Always a privilege to photograph leopards! -

Lionesses form the core of lion pride and are responsible for hunting and raising cubs. At birth, a lioness will find a secluded den to raise the cubs and keep them safe. Cubs are born blind and extremely vulnerable to the elements and scavengers. At this time the cubs only rely on the mother's milk and as they grow, the lioness will introduce them to solid food. As the cubs become more active and curious, the lioness allows them to venture out of the den and start exploring their surroundings. I was fortunate to photograph this lioness and her very young cub very soon after the cub started leaving the den in Sabi Sands, Greater Kruger NP, ZA. Picture taken with the NikonD5 and 500mm lens. -
Lionesses, the primary caregivers of their cubs, play a crucial role in instilling discipline and obedience from an early age, and do not hesitate to correct their cub’s behavior when it's not in line. Taken on tour at Ngweshla pan, Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe. Technical - Nikon Z9, 700mm 1/3200, f8, iso 1600. -
Bengal Tigers ranks amongst the biggest wild cats alive today with a gene pool that is under threat. Tiger Canyon Private game reserve in South Africa, runs a conservation project to preserve these special cats. They roam free and hunt themselves. Happy to photograph this big male quenching his thirst. Taken with a Nikon Z9 and 500mm PF lens. -
Lions (Panthera Leo) are known as a symbol of strength, courage and loyalty. Native to Africa, these cats amazingly adapt to various habitats, some very extreme, such as the Namibia desert. Their survival is very much dependent on the social structure of the pride, the males are responsible for defending the territory and pride from intruders, while females collaborate in hunting and raising cubs. Assisted by external light, the dark background isolates the subject and enabled me to capture this male lion in a beautiful animal portrait and emphasize the intensity of his gaze. Hakuna Matata
