A couple has captured the sighting of a rare black leopard on camera during a trip to Kenya.
Jenny Varley and Graham Boulnois, from Cheshire, England, couldn’t believe their luck when they spotted a rare black leopard, also known as a black panther—which is a melanistic variant of leopard—after their recent visit to Laikipia Wilderness Camp, Kenya.
The couple had heard there’d been a few sightings of the black leopard, and they managed to catch a glimpse of her on two separate occasions during their trip in March.

Jenny said: “This leopard is a young female and although still sometimes seen with her mother, she is becoming more independent and has been observed hunting alone.
