A young female leopard was extremely cautious due to the close presence of another threatening leopard. In the murky light of the early hour, it was unclear whether this was a relative or an interloper deliberately trespassing. This tense dance of tracking them through the undergrowth and deep shadows played out as obtainable prey drew near. A handful of frames were obtained as she passed through a sliver of light.
