Leopards make excellent photographic subjects, but they tend to stay hidden in the wild – when they’re not trying to EAT you.<\/p>\n

Seriously, some subjects are best photographed in captivity or a controlled situation.\u00a0 This particular leopard is in a pretty large pen, but he gets fed daily.\u00a0 The experience can be unnerving -sitting in an open vehicle close enough to this animal that you can hear the sound of its feet hitting the ground when it jumps from a tree.\u00a0 The caretaker throws small chunks of meat, which the leopard catches, until eventually it grows impatient and starts coming toward the caretaker.\u00a0 Starting the engine makes him back off the first few times, but eventually the caretaker has to throw a ham-sized bone with meat, which the leopard takes back into the bush to enjoy in private.\u00a0 Show’s over!<\/p>\n
