As we made a drive through the wood we saw this beautiful leopardess perching on her favourite tree. This leopardess was marking her presence by rubbing her scent glands to the tree trunk by hugging it. This behaviour was very interesting to witness as it was marking her scent on the top branches of the tree. This is one of the favourite pictures that I took recently because of the whole setup. Artistically one can visualize the tree branch as an "Arm of the Mother Nature" and leopard is holding on to it. It shows the unmitigated bonding shared between the tree and the Leopard. Full Article
