Dark Dreams
I have long dreamt of a black shadow that roams forests that I never thought I would see. I dreamt of black rosettes on a phantom that roamed wild and free. I dreamt of seeing a black panther with it’s mighty unforgettable confidence standing on a tree.
After four years of researching global melanistic leopard sightings, two trips to the jungles of India attempting to sight the melanistic leopard at Nagarahole Tiger Reserve, my dream became a reality and has enlightened and humbled me. To be in the presence of a wild and free black panther in his natural habitat was an epic and euphoric experience.
