Wildlife Photographer Shares Rare Pic Of Black Panther & Leopard Couple In India’s Kabini Forest

Mithun H who captured this remarkable photo of a leopard and its black panther “shadow” said it took 6 days to get this shot.

Mithun H was shooting in the Kabini Forest Reserve in Karnataka during winters, when according to his post on Instagram, ‘a single Deer alarm led me to this breathtaking sight.’

‘Saaya and Cleopatra have been courting since 4 years now and whenever they are together it’s a sight to behold,’ Mithun writes about the photo, which he titled The Eternal Couple.
‘The forest comes alive as they trot nonchalantly in his fabled kingdom. Usually in the courting pairs generally it is the Male who takes charge and moves around with the female following close behind. But with this couple, it was definitely Cleo who was in charge while the Panther followed.’

Mithun H is a wildlife photographer has worked with the National Geographic on the documentary The Real Black Panther which features the story of Saya.

Aurora Australis, Tasmania

Much like the Northern Lights, the Southern light illuminates the Aussie sky in colors of green, blue, red, and even pink. The Southern Lights can be viewed all year round – although most commonly during winter, May to August, and during the spring equinox in September. You can head to Bruny Island, Satellite Island, Bathurst Harbour, and Cradle Mountain for the beautiful natural light show.
