That elusive African leopard is walking in that fine art wildlife photograph. With panning and slow shutter speed, you can capture the motion. The predator walking looks extremely fast because of the extended exposure used. Indeed it is walking, not running. A sea of grass surrounds this elusive cat. You see the distinctive pattern of this cat even though the animal is in motion in this fine art wildlife photography.
Leopard Walks In High Grass – Fine Art Photograph
Leopards are solitary most of the time. They are territorial and will leave warnings to other leopards to stay away. These warnings come in the form of scratches on trees, urine scents, and poop scattering along their territory. Females and males will cross into each other’s territories but only to mate. Leopards communicate with each other through a series of calls. For example, a male wants to make another leopard aware of his presence, and he will cause a hoarse, raspy cough. They also growl when angry and, like domestic cats, purr when happy and relaxed.
After a leopard has caught its prey, it will bite its throat. Biting the throat should clamp it tight so that the windpipe either crushes or blocks. Cats use this to kill prey. Wild dogs also hyenas use this to weaken the victim before eating it, generally alive. Leopards are nocturnal animals, hunting at night and sleeping or resting during the day.
The leopard, Panthera pardus, is in the category vulnerable on the IUCN red list.
