African Leopard Yawning Close-Up at the Naples Zoo

Details best viewed in Original Size.

As I often do with felines, I set the camera up on my tripod, zoomed in tight on this resting leopard, and waited for him to do something. A few minutes into the wait he rose and yawned. I shot a quick six frames, but this is the one I found the most interesting. Afterwards, he just laid back down again. I waited for a while longer for something else to happen, but finally got tired and left.
