North Chinese Leopards are stealthy but extremely fast as you can see here. Blink and you miss her. This is the lovely, but speedy Atara. Today is her 15th birthday!
Whilst jungle cats are listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, they are still mainly threatened by destruction of wetlands, trapping and poisoning.

Taken about 2 years ago in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Especially her bigger cub was quite skittish and stayed in the forest most of the time so I have no pictures of the family together.
Actually both cubs were already bigger than their mother.

Final moments of relaxation before this beautiful cat jumped out of the tree and went out to hunt (unfortunately I didn't witness that part).
Only a few minutes into the park on the first game drive in Panna Tiger Reserve we found this female Tiger.
She was quite grumpy and even chased a Golden Jackal that was trailing her.
Panna in the past lost all tigers and now 2 female Tigers are GPS collared so the scientists can monitor them. The tiger population in Panna has evolved well in recent years.

This endangered beauty spent the morning rolling over and showing her belly, whilst watching what was going on. Occasionally chuffing, she kept a close eye on proceedings.
There are now only 70 Amur Leopards left in the wild. Worrying times. They are outstandingly beautiful.

I have to admit that I am very fascinated by felines.
They are both beautiful and mysterious, they move
almost silently on large soft paws.
They see up to 6 times better than a human, but their color vision is reduced. Tigers have five different types of whiskers that sit in different places and detect sensory information that the animal can use, also during hunting. Whiskers are located on the muzzle, above the eyes, on the cheeks, on the back of the animal's forelimbs, and randomly around the body.
The photo was taken in Kristiansand Dyrepark, which is a zoo and amusement park located in Kristiansand, Norway. It is Norway's most visited attraction, with an area of 60 hectares (150 acres).
What I value most about this park is that the animals have large areas and enclosures with forest, in which they can move freely and hide in.

This was one of my favorite encounters with a wild big cat. With our boat on the river bank facing the forest, we watched as this adult female jaguar made her way down the tree trunk towards the boat. It was my turn to sit in front, so I held my breath as she stopped just a few meters from where I was sitting and eventually laid down. Her two nearly grown cubs would eventually join her. We were blessed to be able to observe the family for quite some time as they interacted with each other in close proximity to our boat.
