I have had nerve-racking experience when this stunning huge male leopard emerges from bushes nearby and decides to walk head-on towards me, I kept my never to take this photograph as it was an experience that i can never forget. This leopard is locally know as "Torn ear" and its a legend who ruled Kabini backwater for a long time until it was defeated by another leopard named "Scar-face". I could sense the calmness in his eyes when he walked towards me hence the title "Spotted Monk".
