Pictures of a rare black leopard have been captured in Kenya, the first verifiable record of the animal in a century.
The images were captured by researchers from the San Diego Zoo who have been studying leopards in the Loisaba wildlife conservancy, as well as an independent photographer working in the region at the same time.
The last confirmed report was a photograph taken in Addis Ababa in 1909 which is stored in the Museum of National History in the United States.
