Our Luck with the Leopard - Unser Glück mit dem Leoparden
We were on safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. The brutal dictatorship of Idi Amin in the 70s not only killed hundreds of thousands of people, but also the wildlife was extremely decimated by poaching. This is noticeable until today. There are not nearly as many animals to see as in some other African countries. To see a leopard in the wild a few meters away is really rare. The animals are very shy and well camouflaged. We saw this beautiful animal sitting in a tree (or rather, our guide). We had about 10 to 20 seconds to take a picture. He then disappeared further up the tree and we drove on and left him alone (with a happy grin on our face and joy, about this beautiful photo).
Wir waren auf Safari im Queen Elizabeth Nationalpark in Uganda. Duch die brutale Gewaltherrschaft Idi Amins in den 70er Jahren sind nicht nur hunderttausende Menschen gestorben,sondern auch die Tierwelt wurde durch Wilderei extrem dezimiert. Bis heute ist dies spürbar. Es gibt bei weitem nicht so viele Tiere zu sehen,wie in manchen anderen afrikanischen Ländern.Einen Leoparden in freier Natur nur einige Meter entfernt zu sehen, ist wirklich selten. Die Tiere sind sehr scheu und gut getarnt. Wir haben dieses schöne Tier in einem Baum sitzend gesehen (oder besser gesagt,unser Guide). Wir hatten ca. 10 bis 20 Sekunden Zeit, um ein Foto zu machen. Er verschwand dann weiter oben im Baum und wir sind weitergefahren und haben ihn in Ruhe gelassen (mit eimem glücklichen Grinsen im Gesicht und Freude,über dieses schöne Foto).
