Wildlife is majestic, and observing it can be an amazing experience. However, while for some the wild can be mere minutes away from their homes, being surrounded by nature is a luxury for many. Venturing out to seek beautiful vistas and amazing sceneries can be tricky for the majority of people, too. Trips to the wild can be quite expensive in terms of time, money, and effort. You also often have to be able-bodied and quite fit to go on such adventures. That is why so many of us are so grateful to wildlife photographers.
The beautiful and exotic snow leopard has been listed as endangered species since 1972, but a glimmer of hope is now peaking through for these embattled mountain cats. After a 3-year assessment of population decline rates, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has upgraded the status of the snow leopard to 'vulnerable.'
Stalking Leopard, near Vumbura, Okavango Delta I was lying flat in the grass - protected by a vehicle that could drive in front of me just in case - the leopard was about 100ft away. I was holding my 1200mm lens (33lbs) with my hands. BIggest challenge was to focus thru the grass. The autofoces did not work well.... published on covers and in editorials in various Magazines around the world

If you don’t know how to tell a cheetah from a leopard, or a leopard from a jaguar, you are not alone. These large spotted cats are often confused with each other. Although, there are more differences between them, than similarities. You just need to have a closer look.

Snow Leopards can't roar like other big cats but they have the most majestic tails ever to compensate. Their tails are almost as long as they are - somewhere between 80 to 105 centimetres long! They are mainly used to help them balance, however, they can also serve as a perfect object to OM NOM NOM on!
I think there is not such a thing~ As a cloying writer or reader~ I think there are just certain critics~ That like to be miserable~ Lacking love~ Or~ Feeling them-selves very invisible.
