what an amazingly beatiful cat! ELEGANCE AND GRACE!

()

i know i know......the lion is the king of the jungle......

()

what a creature of rare beauty!

()

and very elusive........good for him.....

()

and a lot stronger than he looks since he pulls the gazelles he killed up into the trees so hyenas and other predators dont get them.....

MOST IMPORTANTLY:
The leopard is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List......

SO NO HUNTING! YOU DENTISTS!!!
REMEMBERING: Cecil the lion!(c. 2002 – 1 July 2015)

anyway......enjoy some great pictures!

Cecil was initially wounded with an arrow by Walter Palmer, an American recreational big-game hunter, then tracked, and reportedly killed with a rifle approximately 40 hours later on 1 July 2015. Palmer says that Cecil was killed with a bow and arrow in much less than 40 hours after the lion was first wounded. Cecil was 13 years old when killed. Palmer had a permit and was not charged with any crime. Authorities in Zimbabwe have said he is free to visit the country as a tourist but not as a hunter.
He was a major attraction at the park and was being studied and tracked by the University of Oxford as part of a larger study.
MURDERER!

they killed beauty of nature they are ass holes murderer

you are right

The problem is that hunting is profitable for the Zimbabwean government so they let people in imo

Thanks for share your post.I read your comment post.

Wonderful job.

Wow!! I didnt realize they could pull their kill into the trees. Impressive.

Wonderful pictures of an utterly beautiful creature. Great post!
By the way, dentists should be hunted!

We should let these beauties strive in their habitats before its too late and they are only left in pictures due to the selfish deeds of man!! Good post and pictures :)

I always enjoy a good lion soup.

There markings always make them look so cool.
I think that's why so many people like them. 😊

Wow, he is looking so hungry.

Amazing photo.

Solitary and opportunistic....

I'm glad i don't have to worry about bumping in to any Leopards where i'm from i do see a lot of red foxs though

Wonder there is unlimmited beauty in GOD's Hand <3

He looks very elegant
followed you @joeblack1

I think when you are disturbing this big cat, then he become so angry, coz at first he was so silent....................
Ha ha ha my friend you are really nice @joeblack1

That is a really beautiful cat thanks for the share.

Wow animal is so cute and nice post.

Great photo :)

Just a very beautiful animal, beautiful pictures!

wow... amazing photos..
majestic animal...

kuit......../////

The beast is unusually beautiful, true, this beauty is somehow disturbing. It would not be desirable to meet with him one on one

looks like quit less.....

wow @nx4440

Thing is, human life is not valuable these days. Who cares that animal lives or dies. We need to pressurized our Govt's to take certain decisions.

i like the last one

hunting is a billion dollar industry.. the products made from a leopards skin are sold at very high price.. it's illegal yet more legal
