The BBC has released its first episode of Mammals which featured astonishing night vision camera footage of a leopard hunting sleeping baboons 66 feet up a tree in total darkness.
Nature photographer Henri Olckers spotted a leopard hiding in the tall grass in South Africa's Kruger National Park while driving past. The leopard is so well camouflaged that other visitors struggled to see it.
A wildlife photographer's stunning series of images capture the moment an animal "sees" him as their eyes meet his own.
Every year from late June through early October, wildlife photographers flock to Masai Mara National Reserve, an area of preserved savannah wilderness in southwestern Kenya.
The BBC is currently screening the new Frozen Planet II series and released a video that shows the camera team spending a month trying to find the world’s most elusive big cat: a snow leopard.
A photographer who captured an incredibly well-camouflaged leopard says that he could not see the big cat even when he was standing next to it.
Anurag Gawande waited nine hours in the jungle until late evening to capture a rare black leopard.
This photograph by wildlife photographer Mohan Thomas contains two leopards. The mother leopard is easy to see, but can you find her cub looking into the camera?
Behind every once-in-a-lifetime photograph is a story. Sometimes these are stories of luck—of being in the right place, at the right time, with the right lens attached to your camera—but more often than not triumph is preceded by years of trial and error. An outlandish "bucket shot" achieved by the sheer force of the photographer’s will and persistence. The Black Leopard by wildlife photographer Will Burrard-Lucas falls into the second category.
Wildlife photographer Will Burrard-Lucas has released a set of photos showing an ultra-rare wild black panther under the starry night sky. The photos took him a whopping 6 months to successfully capture.
A man in South Florida was mauled by a black leopard after he paid $150 for a "full-contact experience" with the big cat in what is being described as a "backyard zoo." The experience was supposed to include playing with the leopard, rubbing its belly, and taking pictures... instead the man has had to undergo multiple surgeries.
Wildlife photography can often require a whole lot of patience and a whole lot of luck. But those two things just came together for photographer Mithun H, who captured this remarkable photo of a leopard and its black panther "shadow."
Need a camera stabilizer? Just buy a tank and duct tape your camera to the gun barrel. Despite their large size and deadly nature, some tank guns can be incredibly stable while the tank is rumbling about.
The 1986 video above by German's armed forces shows the impressive stabilization technology built into the Leopard main battle tank -- it's stable enough to keep beer from spilling.
African wildlife photographer Greg du Toit captured this photo last year of a leopard out on night patrol. It's a shot for which everything seemed to come together for Du Toit for a beautiful composition.
National Geographic's Vincent J Musi will quite literally do whatever it takes to get the animal portrait he's looking for, including kneeling in urine while singing Tom Jones' "What's New Pussycat?" to a growling Snow Leopard... hand gestures included.
Fortunately, the trick works (was it the hand gestures? he wonders), "mesmerized and captivated by [his] theatrical prowess and virtuosit," the Snow Leoppard stops and stares at the yummi, camera-wielding steak. One down, seven to go.
Remember the first time you picked up a camera? Maybe it was a film SLR, maybe it was a crappy digital point-and-shoot, or maybe it was a full-fledged professional DSLR, but either way you probably approached it a little bit like this Leopard momma and her 10-month-old cub approached a park ranger's GoPro.
Nat Geo photographer Steve Winter is one of those rare people who is …
When it comes to wildlife photography, the Snow Leopard is almost unicorn-like. No, it's not mythical, but it's almost as hard to capture one of these infamous "gray ghosts of the Himalayas" on camera as it is to track down a creature that doesn't actually exist.
Imagine, then, how amazed the people on a recent INDRI Ultimate Wildlife Tour were when they got to watch AND photograph a Snow Leopard making a successful kill -- a world's first.
