Default after the lions....

.....we thought that would probably be it for the evening but

we found a zebra crossing

Great set of shots, love the leopard and the hippo looks to be a few moments away from showing lots of action.

Sheldon, these are just terrific photos. I did look at the larger size of your zebra baby feeding. I really like this photo. A zebra hiding seems a little like a child covering his eyes and thinking you can't see him. Nice series. You know you saw a leapard in the wild. How many people on this planet can say that?

The leopard was a very exciting moment, we had tried to track it 2 evenings on the trot and our guide thought we had lost it when suddenly we spotted it walking through the tree line

Thanks to all who looked
