2013-11-21: The male amur leopard at the Brookfield Zoo keeps an attentive eye on one of the zoo's shuttle buses as it passes by the outdoor exhibit.
According to the zoo's website: "A number of deer species, including roe, sika, and musk deer make up the Amur leopard’s diet. They also feast on wild boar, hares, and badgers. However, the decline of many of these prey species in the Amur’s range has, of course, made survival very difficult. Classified as critically endangered, the leopard population is also threatened by logging of their native habitat and poaching."
