Now designated as critically endangered, the Amur leopard is a leopard subspecies native to southeastern Russia and northern China. It is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. In 2007, only 19–26 wild leopards were estimated to survive in southeastern Russia and northeastern China due mainly to poaching.
It is hoped that this 2 year old beauty will help towards conservation of what is a very special big cat, though at present there are no female Amur Leopards available for him.

The restaurant opened its doors to its first guests in 1992. With a privileged location in the historical city, the atmosphere of Russian life, the abundant traditional cuisine, the restaurant "Russian Yard" has quickly become a landmark, a point of attraction for connoisseurs and lovers of good food, as well as for tourists from all over the world. For foreign visitors a real Russian dinner: borshch, caviar and vodka, becoming another unforgettable memory of Russia.

"Заповедник". Жилгородок, Железнодорожный, Подмосковье
Железнодорожный - ближнее Подмосковье, где земля золотая и, как грибы после дождичка, вырастают ипотечные кварталы. И вдруг, на красной линии одной из центральных улиц, на фоне современных многоэтажек, встречаю эти дома, построенные ещё во время Великой Отечественной. И это не абы какие бараки, проект архитектора Жолтовского, гения московского сталинского ампира.
