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.

On my visit to moholoholo rehabilitation center i saw this leopard sleeping peacefully under the shade of the tree. i was enjoying looking at all aspects of this beautiful creature, his fur, his size etc and all of a sudden he lifted his head and turned toward me. it went so fast and i luckily I had setup the right setting before i started watching him
one of the most beautiful mammals on this planet

The mighty leopard is one of the most beautiful cats of Africa. The leopard spends most of the day sleeping in a tree, waking in the late afternoon to prepare for the evening hunt. The leopard will drag it's prey into it's tree to prevent jackals, hyenas and other animals from stealing it.
Bullfrogs could be heard with their deep croaks, but these little leopard frogs were abundant as well, hopping into the reeds as we approached the water's edge.

Not as sharp as I would have liked but it was shot through glass at the zoo, the leopard was pacing and I just grabbed the shot when it snarled at my dad when he pointed the camera at it. ( he missed the shot)
