'Leopard and Catfish,' by James Gifford

“Leopard and Catfish,” Savute Channel, Botswana, by James Gifford, Maun, Botswana. This image was NBP Africa Winner, Wild Cats/Behavioral category.

Says Gifford: “I got the shot when I saw this female leopard jump into a muddy pool, plunge her head deep into the water, and emerge clasping the writhing fish. She then took her meal to the shade of a nearby fever-berry tree.”
