Observing a hunter in action

in #steemitphotochallenge7 years ago (edited)

I took this picture on our honeymoon to South-Africa. We stayed at the Londolozi Reserve in Sabi-Sands, next to the Krügerpark.

The leopard is focusing on his prey, out of the image’s boundaries and is fully focussed on it, whilst attempting to remain unseen in the high grass.

Aah! Looking for food. We have an easy life, we just need to go the shop. This fellow needs to work to feed himself.

This is true, although ever since I moved to Switzerland I've been purchasing much more locally produced food and a few weeks ago I even went to pluck my own beans. The farmer let the locals on it as the crops were destroyed by hail and he couldn't harvest it by machine, so he'd have to spend money to get it harvested manually, which would cost more than it would bring him.
