Celia Wigzell, Spot the Leopard (ANIMAL & NATURE 2025)

On tour in Jaipur we decided to do a safari. We were warned the chances of seeing a leopard are generally low. When we were on our way out of the park our driver got a call and our hours of driving around in rough, hot and dusty conditions were rewarded with seeing this beautiful and majestic young male leopard. I was struck by how relaxed he was. He clearly did not see us as any kind of threat.
