He returned to the country to try and find one again.

But this time, he wanted to snap photos of the rare big cat under the cosmos.

But this is no easy feat.

Photos combining animals with stars are quite challenging to achieve.

Logistics were not the only challenge to Burrard-Lucasit was also the unpredictability of the animal itself.

He passed by my camera traps much less frequently than in the early days which greatly reduced my opportunities.

It took a staggering six months to finally get the shot that Burrard-Lucas had been hoping for.

I returned to a cluster of three cameras I had set up on a promising rock.

Burrard-Lucas has included these images in his new book titledThe Black Leopard.
