For Mithun H., wildlife photographer, it was a fixed idea for four years and a first meeting with this extraordinary couple of felines. Cleopatra and Saaya are two leopards. One spotted, the other all black because of melanism. The Grail for Mithun H. who took advantage of each of his wanderings in the Kabini forest, in the Indian state of Karnataka, to learn to decipher their habits.
When, in 2016, he met lovers for the first time, Mithun H. made a promise: to fix them on a picture. “I had imagined something like this since I saw the black panther, Saaya. How beautiful it would be to "capture" the leopard and obtain the contrast of the spotted leopard with the black shadow! », He remembers. Discover his adventure in the video of our partner Brut:
