During our stay in Botswana, we spent about a week split between two separate camps in the Okavango Delta. While the first camp was more populated by water buffalo and elephants, the second camp had many more big cats. On one of our last days, our guide spotted a female leopard, and then spotted a juvenile male, who we assumed was the females cub. We spent most of the morning tracking these two through the bush, culminating in the female tracking, hunting and finally catching a squirrel as a snack.

This particular shot was near the end of our tracking, and caught the little male weaving in and out of trees. We stopped near a large tree, in hopes that we could catch him paying on the branches, but no luck, he wasn’t interested. It was really fun to just watch these two as they walked and walked in search of each other, or their next snack.
