Tracking a Leopard

Believe it or not, you'll get bored after a day of seeing elephants, zebras and giraffes. You'll never get bored of tracking predators (lions, cheetahs, and leopards). We couldn't leave Botswana without finding a leopard. After a couple of hours tracking a leopard, we found it hidden among the bush stalking a baby elephant. We watched in silence. Within seconds, there was chaos. The birds signaled the elephants that a predator was near. The elephants trumpeted and a huge herd ran to protect its babies. A lone elephant bull came out of nowhere and chased the leopard away. It's a shame that our cameras were not fast enough to capture all the action, which lasted less than a minute. We caught up with the leopard and watched it hunt a guinea fowl. That couldn't have satisfied the leopard's appetite. The leopard was back on the hunt within minutes but unfortunately it was time for us to go. You always have to keep your eyes open as you never know what you're going to find on a safari.
