A rare black leopard stalking at night was recorded in stunning photos by a British amateur photographer. Earlier this month, 74-year-old Steve Darling was on a safari in Kenya when he saw the large cat as they were returning to camp.

Some species become less obvious to predators as a result, and leopards use this as a foraging advantage while out at night.
