She pawed at my lens as I sat beside her, everything is a potential toy at this age. After her mothers death, she was rescued & taken into care. She was getting to the age where it would be too dangerous to be this close anymore. Leopard are notoriously unpredictable & dangerous, so this special moment was not lost on me.
