Snow leopard (Panthera uncia or Uncia uncia), also called ounce, is a carnivore that inhabits the mountainous regions of central Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
Its litters of two to four young are born after a gestation period of approximately 93 days.
Snow leopards have pretty long tails. About 80 – 100 cm in length as against its body length of 48 – 60 cm.
The snow leopard uses its bushy tail to keep balance when it jumps.
The tail allows the leopard to maneuver rather quickly.
The leopard uses its tail as a blanket when it is asleep, it wraps the tail around their body.
The snow leopard population is estimated to be only a few thousand animals, and the species is thus considered endangered.
This leopard was photographed in the Ndutu area of Tanzania with Todd Gustafson several years ago. Todd is a world class nature photographer and it was my privilege to go to Tanzania with him twice. This particular leopard was a female who took up a position on a fallen trunk of a tree, right at eye level. As we approached I kept pushing the shutter, expecting to have to stop once she showed any sign of discomfort. It never happened. We were able to stop very close to her where this image was taken. You feel like a very lucky person when something like this happens, a memory I'll never forget. It's what's special about photography. All the memories come flooding back.
Take care guys, Mike.

This beautiful cat charged towards me at a terrifying pace and threw herself at the mesh of her enclosure. I cannot say how fast she covered the distance between us but it was thrilling to witness. I fired off as many shots as I could and was quite pleased with this one.
Cethosia cyane, the leopard lacewing, is a species of heliconiine butterfly found from India to southern China (southern Yunnan), and Indochina. Its range has expanded in the last few decades, and its arrival in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula, including Singapore, is relatively recent.
Le léopard, ou panthère, est un animal de la famille des félins. Son pelage est jaune et couvert de taches en rosettes (ocelles) noires. Certains léopards, plus souvent nommés panthères noires, ont une robe très foncée où l’on distingue mal les ocelles bien que présentes. Il s’agit là d’une anomalie génétique entraînant un surplus de mélanine appelé le mélanisme.
Le léopard a une espérance de vie de l’ordre de 12 ans en liberté, alors que certains peuvent atteindre l’âge honorable de 20 ans en captivité. Sa taille varie entre 1,50 et 2,50 m de longueur et de 60 à 70 cm au garrot. Il pèse entre 50 et 80 kg.
Le cri du léopard est le feulement, le miaulement et le rugissement. On dit qu'il feule, miaule et rugit.
Il n’y a pas de période de reproduction fixe. Lorsque la femelle est prête à s’accoupler, elle émet une urine caractéristique que les mâles reconnaissent immédiatement. Il arrive souvent qu’une même femelle se retrouve avec plusieurs prétendants. Ceux-ci doivent alors se battre pour conquérir la future compagne, car seul le vainqueur aura le privilège de s’accoupler. Une fois le vainqueur désigné, le couple restera ensemble durant 6 à 7 jours, tant que la femelle sera en chaleur. Puis le mâle retournera sur son territoire et laissera la femelle élever seule ses petits.
La gestation dure environ 3 mois et demi. La femelle met au monde une portée de 1 à 6 petits. À la naissance, les petits sont aveugles et pèsent environ 500 g. Au bout d’un an, les jeunes quittent leur mère pour entamer une vie de solitaire.
With as few as 45 adults remaining in the wild, the Amur leopard is probably the rarest and most critically endangered big cat in the world. Habitat destruction, degradation and poaching of Amur leopards and their prey are persistent threats. Hunted largely for its beautiful, spotted fur, the loss of each Amur leopard puts the species at greater risk of extinction.
The Amur leopard is classified as Critically Endangered since 1996 by IUCN. Data published by the World Wildlife Fund indicates that there are roughly 50 adult Amur leopards in the wild today.
The Amur leopard is a leopard subspecies native to the Primorye region of southeastern Russia and the Jilin Province of northeast China. They live for 10-15 years, and in captivity up to 20 years. The Amur leopard is also known as the Far East leopard, the Manchurian leopard or the Korean leopard.
We found this beautiful young leopard lying some 10 meters next to the road and quite relaxed. We had this one for ourselves because passing cars did not stop and asked where we were watching at!!

A young female leopard moving through the bush and undergrowth with the silence and stealth of a hungry cat.
Another photo of the beautiful female leopard that ran alongside the road as we were driving along. We stopped the car and she came up beside the car and hid behind a bush and began watching some Impala on the opposite side. They spotted her and she decided to just sit and wait. There were no other cars around for quite a while, so a wonderful sighting where we had her to ourselves for photos.
This image was captured in the wild in the Kgalagadi.
(You might have noticed, this is the nth upload of this same leopard, but then again, she gave me so much pleasure and time to capture images of her!)
This little 3-month-old leopard cub had already learned so much from his mother that he knew what to do when a lioness entered the leopard hide.
While the mother lured the lioness away, this cute little fellow hid in the top of a tree and didn't move for hours before the mother returned.
A scene that will stay with me forever.
