Description: Leopard with a Thompson gazelle kill

Story from behind the lens: This is beautiful Fig, obviously very pregnant, about three weeks before she died. We spent a lot of time with her that morning while she rested on that branch. Just as she was leaving the tree, she seemed to stop and thank the gazelle and excuse herself.
