This image is of the female leopard, "Fig". It was taken in Kenya's Olare Motorogi conservancy in 2019. Regrettably, Fig was killed by a male lion 3 years later at age 13.
In the world of African leopards, Fig was a "superstar", with a global following. I feel fortunate to have been able to observe and photograph her during her lifetime.
The "backstory" on Fig is extensive, So much so, that present space is inadequate for a proper response. Alternately, you can Google, using the search "Fig the leopard". You will be overwhelmed.

The Serengeti sticks with you. I had some work in Nairobi in 1990 and took some time off to safari at Little Governor's on the Mara. I wonder about the descendants of the cats I saw there when I look at the pictures. I have one of the last northern (white) rhino in area, who was sadly awaiting his fate which came not long after.
