Congratulations on a beautiful leopard and a fine buffalo. Looks like a serious wound on that buffalo.

HAHAHA - not this time! DAY 4 of the safari!
one of the earliest I have shot in a safari before.

I only reserve "shooting a cat the day after a safari has finished" for you my friend! That put some gray hairs on my head!

Lion bites are painful things! It is truly amazing how robust these animals are - to escape from a lion is something else.
