We were heading back to camp when we met this young leopard on the road. He used our car to hide . The final part was a bit clumsy,so the impala could escape.
The Amur leopard is considered to be one of the most critically endangered big cats in the world, with roughly 30-40 individuals remaining in the wild. Habitat loss and hunting (for trophies and use in traditional medicines) are the biggest threats to Amur leopards in the wild.
The Amur leopard has been a protected species in Russia since 1956, but poaching is still a problem. Conservation efforts in the wild for these animals include anti-poaching patrols, customs control, fighting forest fires, environmental education programmes and working closely with local communities.

A little leopard cub awaits momma atop a pride rock, far far away. She was probably out hunting, and he was amazingly well camouflaged.
