This is an image of the ‘son of Saba’ as popularly known by the locals. A young leopard I captured on a cold day on the 25 April 2017 at 6:38 PM at the Maasai Mara in Kenya.

I have been studying and photographing Big Cat Behavior for the better part of 2017. I have been very fervent to understand and photograph their behaviour and way of life, over and above the static portraits I have photographed in the past. I have come to learn that part of big cat lives, strangely, is survival. We mostly think of them as a lucky group of animals who get everything they desire by overpowering the other animals in the jungle by their might and innate ability to survive. However, Big Cats face so many challenges to survive and provide for their young ones, and to do that they have to hunt every few days.

The Leopard is one of the most secretive Big Cats and to capture him on a successful kill, and in good light is one of the hardest things to do as a wildlife photographer. We followed this specific leopard with my guide for three days. All his hunting attempts ended up in failure because he is still young and hasn’t perfected the art of stalking.

By the time we got to the third day, anxiety was high and frustration nigh. We kept eyes on him all morning but lost him in the bushes for the better half of the afternoon. Just when we were about to give up as it was after sunset, we noticed some impalas approaching a stream that was near where the leopard had disappeared to. My guide suggested we keep waiting. In his words, “The fact that we have not seen him all afternoon does not mean he has not been watching us.” When the impalas came close, like magic, he just came out of the bushes in “Stalking fashion” just as the last light of the day hit his beautiful face.
