A couple captured some extraordinary photos of a “strawberry”-colored leopard after setting up a motion-sensitive camera in a wildlife reserve in South Africa. It is believed that there are only a few such specimens in existence, which is what makes these images even more incredible.

Alan and Lyndsey Watson are the owners of the Black Leopard Mountain Lodge, situated in the middle of the Thabo Tholo Wilderness Reserve in South Africa. It was July 2019 when they came across a dead giraffe and placed a motion-triggered camera on a nearby tree hoping to catch sight of scavengers.
