The snow leopard is a large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. It is listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species because, as of 2003, the size of the global population was estimated at 4,080–6,590 adults, of which fewer than 2,500 individuals may reproduce in the wild.
With only about 130 alive in the entire world (100 of those in captivity), this Amur leopard is extremely rare and very precious. Taken on a photography day at the Wildlife Heritage Foundation in Kent.

Wild leopard in the wild relieving himself less than 5 meters away from my open car window. I could smell the stool.
This photo of an old Leopard was taken in the Kruger National Park early september 2016 during an extremely dry period. The Leopard is laying next to a small tree where it had brought its prey.
We were fairly nearby and I was using a 600mm so I had to take 2 photos that I have stitched afterwards. This was no problem since the Leopard was laying quietly.
It took six hours driving round before I spotted this Leopard the only one I had seen in the wild Great rejoicing
The adorable Snow Leopard who lives at the Como Zoo in Minnesota. These endangered cats are found in the mountains of Central Asia. How cool it would be to see one of these amazing creatures in the wild!

I haven't done a burn to black edit for a while, nor have I posted anything for a while!
This is Sayan, the male Amur Leopard at Colchester Zoo. Amur Leopards are critically endangered with only an estimated 60 individuals surviving in the wild, though thankfully their numbers appear to be rising thanks to conservation work.
This trip was a quick test run for my new lens - the Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3. It's real test comes on my planned whale watching trips in the coming weeks! Any feedback is, as always, welcome.

We had been looking for leopards all evening until our guide got a call on the radio from another group that had just found one. The driver whipped in out of the bush and flew down the bumpy road. We approached the vehicles parked off the road and slowed down to see where they were looking. After driving over some small bushes, our guide positioned our truck in just the right spot. The Leopard was slightly covered by some vines and grass, but I was able to come away with this image.
I am so excited as I am going to meet Anatassia in Brighton on the main pier and I thought I would do some retail therapy first as I am early. I took the opportunity to get another self-portrait in the mirror but the light was a bit low and so the photo is not as sharp as what my hubby or Natalia would take but it shows me in my leopard print micro-mini and my figure-hugging sweater showing off my large breasts. I was enjoying the many favorable glances in the shops! 😛😛 💋 💋
Natalia did say that her sister is obsessed with me and is going to wear as near to my outfit here, so I am to look out for an attractive 30 years old blue eyed blonde woman in a micro-mini and figure-hugging sweater in stilettos! 😛😛 💋 💋 💗💗

Fast Fact.
Type: Mammal
Diet: Carnivore
Protection status: Endangered
Leopards are graceful and powerful big cats closely related to lions, tigers, and jaguars. They live in sub-Saharan Africa, northeast Africa, Central Asia, India, and China. However, many of their populations are endangered, especially outside of Africa.
The leopard is so strong and comfortable in trees that it often hauls its kills into the branches. By dragging the bodies of large animals aloft it hopes to keep them safe from scavengers such as hyenas. Leopards can also hunt from trees, where their spotted coats allow them to blend with the leaves until they spring with a deadly pounce. These nocturnal predators also stalk antelope, deer, and pigs by stealthy movements in the tall grass. When human settlements are present, leopards often attack dogs and, occasionally, people.

Another photo of the beautiful leopard we saw during a drive around Kruger National Park. From memory it was on a drive from Lower Sabie to Skukuza - we saw four leopards this day, two in trees and two on the ground.
