Shaking off the flies. Kenya: THESE COMICAL images show a leopard in a spot-of-bother as her eyes bulged while shaking off pesky flies as she tried to enjoy her lunch in peace. This three-year-old female leopard will grow up to 25 inches tall and six feet long, with the addition of a three-foot tail. She may also weigh up to 128 pounds. These images were captured by photographer Benjamin Bugeja (32) on the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya, using a Canon 5D Mark IV camera. ?We had been sitting in the blistering sun for three hours simply because we saw some spots under deep brush in the Masai Mara in Kenya,? said Benjamin. ?We decided to wait as long as it took to see if the owner of the spots would emerge. ?Much to our joy, she came up after three to four hours and began to feast on an early kill. ?These shots show the raw reality of the wild. For me, that is all I can hope to capture. ?I love that she is shaking off the flies so she can feed mediadrumimages/BenjaminBugeja
