We have been very fortunate currently to have spent quite a lot of time up shut and private with lots of the leopards in Londolozi – there is no approach to describe how they appear to stare straight into your soul once they stare at you. We observe this creature in awe, capturing each element in its golden coat marked with darkish rosettes and piercing amber eyes, glowing with a fierce, clever mild. This bought me pondering, although: How do cheetahs see us? This escalated into the query of how they see the world usually.
