It's pretty obvious he doesn't want to share with anybody!

His tummy looks full. But sharing is not his first choice.

Very nicely done. Very good eye contact.

What camo....
You really do like cats eating ungulates.
Wish I was there.

Doesn't want to share or perhaps he may be still hungry and is sizing you up?!

Beautiful capture Eric.

What an impressive image, Eric! Indeed, it doesn't look like he feels like sharing the "rib" with anybody else but you stole some images of him - well done!

You have to wait your turn Eric. I think it falls in place about the same time as the Vultures. I love the eye contact, the placement of the head and that you have the full body so nicely placed in the frame at a good diagonal.

Great image the tail really blends in with the surroundings. Wouldn't want to be the one that tries snatching his lunch

Thanks Mansur...it was a very big warthog and this piece fell from the tree so it went to retrieve it...waste not want not!

You are right...it is so obvious how their rosettes work perfectly with the foliage...I didn't order up the warthog but I certainly wasn't going to pass it up...I actually prefer non feeding shots but the light was glorious....it's actually a perfect time for video.

Thanks Greg...this is one cat I wouldn't want to mess with....they do make their feeling know with just a "look"

Thanks KD...a big male warthog is very dangerous....to have dispatched this is no mean fete.

Thanks Joshua...I did manage a few mega-bites...there is simply nothing like a big cat IMHO

Thanks Morris...I did pay close attention to compositional details and made sure to include the tail...easy just to zoom in but then something is lost.

Thanks Birdie...it was made plenty obvious who was top cat at the lunch table!

Thanks Louie...unfortunately another larger and slightly more fit big male made an appearance a few minutes later and either stole or reclaimed the kill....now that was one unhappy cat, drooling and uttering low rumbling sounds...fortunately not at me!

Thanks Don...it is quite remarkable how such a striking looking animal can blend in....I certainly didn't attempt to steal the kill but another male leopard eventually did just that!

Thanks Jim...not sure why I so many cats eating stuff sightings this year...probably the drought that weakened the prey species.
