In the heart of the African wilderness, a photographer waits in the shadows, camera poised for the perfect shot. The elusive leopard, a solitary and mysterious creature, emerges from the darkness.

Join the journey to uncover the secrets of the leopard and discover how young readers can help protect these magnificent creatures for future generations.

You’re crouched in the African brush, camera at the ready. You’re waiting on one of nature’s loners. It’s dark. It’s scary. Then silently, he appears; the ever-elusive leopard. You have seconds to capture on film this wonder of the wild, with its exotic spotted fur, so prized by hunters. National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence Dereck and Beverly Joubert take you closer to the mystery of the magnificent leopard and make a passionate plea to young readers to help secure a future for these feline treasures.
