During our first trip to Africa, the animal I wanted to see most was a leopard. It was also the animal I least expected to see. We had an excellent tracker (he also has guided photographers for National Geographic and the BBC). He found a mother leopard and her two babies. The babies nursed for a while then got up and wrestled with each other. As I took this image, the cub in the background had just leaped onto his brother.
