LAIKIPIA WILDERNESS CAMP, KENYA – A black leopard was spotted on camera in roaming around Kenya.

The rarely-sighted animal was captured on camera by wildlife photographer Will Burrard-Lucas who took the pictures in January of 2019.

The cat is described as a ‘black’ leopard due to the high levels of dark pigment in its fur, but the a-typical spots found on leopards can still be seen on the animal’s coat.

Burrand-Lucas said he set up sensors to detect the black leopard’s movements, triggering the camera set up nearby to take the picture.
