Leopardus nocturnus

By dusk the eyes are open.
Safari vans have gone.
This beast is on the move.
The forest floor is now it´s domain.
You wanted a monster?
Lions bask and tourists watch by day.
By night...
This region of bush has turned
from habitat into deathtrap.
The sky loses the last of it´s safety.
In silence and undetected the mammal falls.
Completely nocturnal sharp claw
extended from the padded paw filling into prints...
The only evidence of the the phantom cat´s existance.
The world´s predatory cats slowly become extinct.
As the leopard´s numbers grow.
