“I am simply amazed by their amazing beauty. Each person has their own individuality, and leopards also have unique features—the spots on their necks, which are called ‘pearl necklaces.’ Not only are these cats elegant and slender, they are also very courageous and independent. Over the years, I have come to love not only their appearance but also their habits.” For example, the tips of their long, elegant tails begin to twitch very vigorously at the slightest rustle in the grass.”

37-year-old photographer Matt Profit captured this skilled spotted hunter on camera as he decided to feast on the birds.

Noticing a flock of birds heading his way, this young leopard decided to seize the opportunity to grab a snack. Balancing on his hind legs, he waited for the right moment and snatched one of the birds mid-flight.Photo: Leopard's Quick Snack #4 - BigPicture.ru

The leopard decided not to waste time and eat the bird immediately, forgetting even to return to his normal state on all fours.

Photographer Matt Profit was stunned by the scene unfolding before his lens. “The leopard paid no attention to me. He was completely absorbed in the hunt and the food.”Photo: Leopard's Quick Snack #6 - BigPicture.ru

Of course, poultry is just a measly snack that will help satiate your hunger for a couple of hours. Photo: Leopard's Quick Snack #7 - BigPicture.ruAlthough… Maybe I should get some more?
