In the flat terrain of the Okavango Delta, a termite mound is a significant elevation. Two or three metres above the surrounding grassland, it offers a clear view in every direction — enough to spot prey, monitor rivals, and assess the landscape before committing to a direction. Large tom leopards know this, and they use these mounds with the confidence of animals that have earned the right to be visible. This particular male was a well-known individual in the Moremi area — one of the bigger toms, not seen for some time before this encounter. He was found on a supply run, using the mound as a lookout in broad daylight. Seeing a leopard out in the open like this, unhurried and entirely at ease, is a testament to size and confidence in equal measure.

He had not been seen for some time before this encounter. His willingness to be visible in open ground in the middle of the day said everything about his size and his confidence in his own territory.
