A photographer in Kenya got the surprise of a lifetime when he crossed paths with one of the rarest of African big cats the Black leopard literally known as the black leopard at Laikipia Wilderness Camp.
The creature which almost has a mythical status was captured by British wildlife photographer Will Burrard-Lucas, 35, while it was prowling around the plains of Kenya in the dead of night with a full moon looming above.
Melanistic leopards are iconic creatures with a movie themed around the mythical animal interestingly based within the fictitious land of ‘Wakanda’ in East Africa, the same region in which the actual black panther was spotted and captured on camera.
