A Leopard cannot change its spots, but it can surely make you think otherwise. Dr. Smitha Moorthy, a city-based wildlife lover and photographer was in for an unusual treat during her visit to Ranthambore National Park on April 4, when she saw a leopard playing with a small spotted deer, before eventually gulping it down for dinner.

Her brother-in-law Ravi Shanker captured the unique moment in a series of photographs.
