    Edit Photo Details The Ghost Cat   #night_shot #leopard_africa
    I took this photo during a photographic safari in South Africa. It was late in the night and when we were coming back to our lodge this male leopard crossed our way. It was patrolling his territory. As it was coming in our direction, another car lit its flashlight and all we could see was the animal silhouette. So I saw an opportunity to take a more dramatic photo and show the leopard as a ghost cat, because it has this name because it is very difficult to be seen.
