Lovely images in the beginning. The last few seems to show the animals reacting to your presence. I'm not sure if you were disturbing them or they were just taking note of your being there.

Hi Morris,
Actually the only animal in this images that did notice me were the spotted hyena. For the color photo I was stopped on the side on the road looking at a map when I heard some noise, and looked down the embankment and saw her looking right at me. She was maybe 20 yards away at most. For the B&W one I was driving down the road and stop because she was walking straight down the road towards me - I stopped and she walked right by me looking at me.
The leopard straight on, lion cub, etc. all were at a distance of greater than 70 yards. In fact the B&W of the leopard was across a river and high up and was totally backlit - it clearly has the impression he was staring at me but honestly at that distance it was more just pure luck and a lot of shots taken.
I added the metadata for each image.
