We remember the unusual case of a leopard lying in the nest of a hamerkop, cleaning itself. the yellow-black predator among the yellow-black birds in a huge bird nest. We had never seen anything so special. But the fact that the mating act occurred a little later because the leopard was not alone in the tree made the situation even more special. one of the rarely observed pairs of leopards, and then in such an extraordinary place. It’s amazing what Maasai Mara has to offer.
Amazing Photography by Ravi Perera:Leopard Honeymoon: Waiting a few hours patiently at our prime photography position in the wilds of Kenya rewards us with some unique photographs of leopards mating high in a tree. We couldn’t believe our eyes when, after a couple of hours, the female got into position and invited the male, not once, not twice, but three times. Some lucky people have seen leopards mating on the ground, but seeing them act gracefully in an abandoned Hamerkop bird’s nest on top of a tree was an incredible treat.
