Pitts Patel from Springs Photographic Club is our August winner!
Pitts, congratulations on your winning image – Bunny meal
Pitts says:
On a recent trip to the Greater Kruger, I witnessed a dramatic encounter between a leopard and a scrub hare which left me with mixed emotions.
The leopard, known for its stealth and agility, was observed meticulously stalking its prey through the dense vegetation of the reserve during our afternoon game drive. Leopards are solitary predators, and their hunting technique often involves a patient and calculated approach.
On this occasion the leopard used its keen sense to track the hare, moving with silent precision. The hare, unaware of the looming danger, was grazing or perhaps searching for food when the leopard made its move. In a burst of speed the leopard pounced, the attack was swift and decisive.
This scene highlights the raw and unfiltered reality of the natural world.
