Most of the time, the sight of a leopard is more than enough to strike fear into people's hearts. However, 35-year-old Hannu Soini of Halsua, Finland was not in the least scared when he came face to face with the feline pictured above.

This is because, instead of acting like the vicious predator most people believe it to be, the leopard was only interested in napping.

The picture was taken in the Bali Safari Park in Indonesia, Daily Mail reports. Hannu Soini says that, at that time, the big cat looked no scarier than your ordinary household kitten.

“When I saw the leopard it instantly reminded me of a napping domestic cat. He probably had a heavy lunch and so had decided to nap on top of this log,” the structural engineer told the press.

“I spotted the leopard in the afternoon; it felt like I was in the right place at the right time. I was lucky to get this shot,” he added.

I don't know about you, but I for one am quite jealous of this leopard, and I cannot wait for the day I will get to enjoy an equally relaxing nap.
