Snow Leopard

This is Tara, one of the two Amur leopards at the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, Massachusetts. As you can see, I have the worst time getting a decent shot of her with the fence. She is so pretty, though, that I wanted to share her with my Flickr friends.

Took me ages to get him to look at me. He was a depressed thing that just prowled around the perimeter not looking up.

I also learned something today about these guys - the little rock area he was laying in - heated. He loves to sleep there, and the zoo made sure that the place he loves to sleep is one that is visible to guests.

Four days spent in the heart of the Serengeti were not nearly enough. It is a place of wonder, of delights and of incredible moments shared with spectacular creatures.

Photos were taken during a 9 day safari in partnership with Fed Tours and Safaris (fedsafaris.com) who provided an absolutely incredible experience.

The leopard is a solitary animal which hunts mainly at night and hides during the day. The Amur leopards, also known as the Far Eastern leopards, are the northern most subspecies of leopard and are well adapted to snowy winters. They inhabit an area to the west of Vladivostok. The Amur leopards prefer mixed forest where there are sufficient numbers of deer, hares, badgers and raccoon dogs that form the bulk of their prey. They often make their dens in caves and bury their prey under fallen leaves. The cubs are born in a den and suckle for three months.
