Cool.

Imagine the furor had the loss of its eye been due to a hunter's bullet!

You’ll also note the leopard was feeding on a “carcass” and not a “corpse” as is often said when it comes to an animal a hunter has killed.

We had a one eyed female leopard on bait a few years ago.

Let her have the bait and even took other old baits over and let her have them after we had a couple males feeding.

Eventually she brought her cubs in to feed!

It looks like some of the skull bone has been gouged out most likely by the canine tooth of another tom leopard.

"The one-eyed leopard's injury doesn't appear to have hindered his hunting skills as he was pictured lounging on a tree branch, licking his lips as he proudly displayed a fresh kill"

AND...Do they really think that the Leopard is "proud" of its kill??!!

The article says:

It's a real-life Scar! Leopard bears a striking resemblance to Simba's nemesis in the Lion King after having its left eye gouged out in a fight.

The photos show it missing it's right eye.

Using film and inverting it?
