Amazing how fast these guys can move when being chased

Leopard Tortoise

And a more representative image...because they rely more on stealth, it is unusual (in my experience anyway) to get good shots of leopards on the run)

Both are great images, and for me it's always a pleasure to start a day off with a smile...my thanks for that.
The leopard (cat version) is a wonderful capture, a very nice action shot.

Yikes, the tortoise is faster than the kitty!! Sh&t I'm in trouble now

What a great idea for a post Eric

I must admit though I do like the feline a LOT better than the testudine. Super shot of spot

I'll be the odd man out for now, while I really like the leopard, I really, really enjoyed the tortoise.

That's a super image of the running leopard, the green background sets it off a treat.

Two beauts, Eric.
The tortoise shot is proof that unsteady hands CAN be a good thing.
How strong IS the coffee over there?

Eric, I don't know what you did to the first image but I love it.
However, the second steals the show.

Two beautiful images Eric. That first is a real neat one. I quite like how you implied speed where none exists. Well done.

2 excellent images Eric.

My dad told me about a pare of sea turtles making love when they visited the SD zoo in 1996. When I got there in 1998 they were still working on it as they are so slow...
