Eye of the Leopard

Last night I watched a National Geographic film about a leopard, called Eye of the Leopard. Did some sketching while watching the film.

I did several sketches trying to just get the proportions of the body of the leopard correct. They have rather small heads carried high level with the shoulders. Also how one of the leopards would carry its tail with a perfect loop/curl at the end of it, as in the smaller sketch here.
