While on Safari in Africa, the photographer snapped a shot of this female leopard up in a tress and in heat. The male approached on the ground, but she “made an even louder racket and let out a loud bark at him.” So the male turned away and sauntered off. She jumped down and followed him. 😉 Photo #1 by Steve Jurvetson

Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, Africa, is renowned as perhaps the best wildlife reserve in Africa due to its density of predators and prey. People come from all over the world to watch the annual migration of over 1.5 million white-bearded wildebeest and 250,000 zebras. This male lion is relaxing on a rock, soaking up some sun.

Remember that leopard in photo #1? This is what happened after the female in heat caught up with the male. Romance? According to the photographer, this is a “Leopard Mating Dance. Kicking up dust and sending grass flying.” Photo #19 by Steve Jurvetson
