The German Leopard tank has been the Nordic countries’ principle main battle tank since its first introduction in the 1970s, and continuing that tradition is the newest iteration in the series, the Leopard 2A8 – known as 2A8N or Strv. 130 in service with the NDC member states. Although still designated as a Leopard 2, little besides its outside appearance is similar to the original tank. Integrating the latest in tank armour and weaponry together with a 4th generation EuroPowerPack hybrid diesel-electric tank engine, the Leopard 2A8 is basically a brand new tank for the modern battlefield.

The snow leopard (Panthera uncia syn. Uncia uncia) is a large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. It is listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species because the size of the global population is estimated at as few as 4,000 adults, of which only 2,500 individuals may reproduce in the wild. The animals are gradually being pushed out of their natural habitat due to destruction, livestock grazing, their prey being hunted by humans and other conflicts with people. Some have even fallen victim to landmines in northern Afghanistan.
Marwell Wildlife are successful members of the European Breeding Programme for the species.
This is my entry for the 6. Feline category in the 52 in 2014 Group.
Central Scottish Leopard T262 heads up Cadzow Street in Hamilton working a 221 to Blantyre in June 1986. It looks like it like its just had a refurb and was one of the 40 strong MHS/P batch delivered to Central SMT in 1976.

The Baroness is here!!!! When La Femme collection was announced Agnes was the third doll I liked the most, with Eugenia being the first and Elyse the second. I preordered her without hesitation because, in general, I like short haired dolls and I like the screening they chose for her. I was soooo excited to get her!!!!
Hair/Makeup: As far as I recall, Agnes was never in FR white color, this is the first one. Also, she is the first Agnes with short hair. Have to admit, I am not too crazy about the hairstyle in person. Although she has tones of product in her hair, it still looks bulky. I think she she is too heavily rooted. The right side of her head looks better as it has less hair, the right one is a bit problematic. As I got her several days ago, I already washed her hair and she does look better IMO, will post photos. Maybe if they used Exquise Adele's hairstyle... Now, her face left me breathless!!! Those red lips and turquoise eyes!!! She also has a hint of silver eyeshadow, which makes this color combination my favorite, stunning! She looks very classy and elegant. I also adore her eyebrows! Her face is a perfection, I wouldn't change anything, but I have to penalize for the hair. 9.5/10
Outfit/Accessories: I wasn't too impressed with the outfit when she was announced, but in person it looks quite nice. The skirt was the least favorite piece, but it is very nicely made and it is fully lined with a mesh material. It looks very haute in person. The blouse is also nicely constructed, but I am not sure about the material they chose. It looks artificial and shiny in person. I am no expert in materials, so I can not tell which one they used. Now, the surprise, the blouse does not close on the back!!!??? It doesn't close at all. Yes, you will have to remove it over her head. I got it, they wanted have a clean look on the back, because of the short hair. But, I am not sure this is a good choice for short haired doll, because you will mess her hair if you remove it a few times. She comes with the same belt they used for Exquise Adele, it looks very nice, but it is a nightmare to put on. The new closures are not good choice for the belts IMO, the old ones closed better. The shoes are the weakest link here. Very basic black sandals, with long black strings. The strings look very basic and cheap, not like the ones they used for Coquette Jordan. Though they do have red soles and silver heels, which is a nice touch. Now, the necklace is everything, it looks very nice when you put it on. She comes with a coordinated ring and earrings, as well. Very nice jewelry. The leopard bag brings a bit of drama in this look. The execution is amazing, it closes with small silver zipper and looks very nice in person. 9/10.
Overall: It is all about the screening and the face when it comes to this Agnes. She will be very cherished here. As the outfit is a hit or a miss, I would suggest to get her nude, as she really looks beautiful! 9/10
The most secretive and elusive of the large carnivores, the leopard is also the shrewdest. Pound for pound, it is the strongest climber of the large cats and capable of killing prey larger than itself.
Still thrilled about the first leopard in the distance across the Sabie river,
we saw this one very close to the road, trying its best to ignore the excited tourists. Our day was made.
I feel like one of the super lucky ones to have had the opportunity to visit Africa on more than one occasion, and I hope to go back. Going back and starting to keyword all the memories come flooding back, one of the great things about photography. This leopard stood on this branch, took a nice yawn before taking this position. I like this shot the best because of its eyes.
The Leopard is behind two fences. A cage inside a fence which makes it very hard to get a good shot while eliminating the fences.
n 554. 13 October 1973.
Teesside Municipal Transport started buying coaches in the early 1970s, including one Leyland Leopard with Willowbrook bodywork, KXG 372L, seen here at Middlesbrough Exchange.
The leopard is one of the five "big cats" in the genus Panthera. It is a member of the Felidae family with a wide range in regions of sub-Saharan Africa, West Asia, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia to Siberia
The snow leopard (Panthera uncia or Uncia uncia), sometimes known as "ounce," is a moderately large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia. The classification of this species has been subject to change and its exact taxonomic position will not be resolved until further studies are conducted.
It cannot roar, despite possessing an incomplete ossification of the hyoid bone. The presence of this ossification was previously thought to be essential for allowing the big cats to roar. However, new studies show that the ability to roar is due to other morphological features, especially of the larynx, which are absent in the snow leopard.
The snow leopard's range in central and south Asia is rugged mountainous regions of approximately 1,230,000 square kilometers, which extends through 12 countries: Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
The geographic distribution from the Hindukush in eastern Afghanistan and the Syr Darya through the mountains of Pamir Mountains, Tian Shan, Karakorum, Kashmir, Kunlun, and the Himalaya to southern Siberia, where the range covers the Russian Altai mountains, Sajan, Tannu-Ola mountains and the mountains to the west of Lake Baikal. In Mongolia it is found in the Mongolian and Gobi Altai and the Khangai Mountains. In Tibet it is found up to the Altyn-Tagh in the North
Taken through glass at West Midlands Safari Park. Would he turn to look straight at the camera? No! I waited for 20mins and this is as close to looking straight at me as he got.
Sabu, the young male snow leopard at Roger Williams Zoo in Providence, RI. As part of the zoo's Super Bowl party, Sabu got boxes with team logos and scent enrichment. He enjoyed the Seahawks box so much he got blue cornstarch on his face.
The king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) is the second largest species of penguin, smaller, but somewhat similar in appearance to the emperor penguin. There are two subspecies: A. p. patagonicus and A. p. halli; patagonicus is found in the South Atlantic and halli in the South Indian Ocean (at the Kerguelen Islands, Crozet Island, Prince Edward Islands and Heard Island and McDonald Islands) and at Macquarie Island.
King penguins mainly eat lanternfish, squid and krill. On foraging trips, king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 metres (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 metres (1,000 ft). Predators of the king penguin include giant petrels, skuas, the snowy sheathbill, the leopard seal and the orca.
The king penguin breeds on the Subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of Antarctica, South Georgia, and other temperate islands of the region. It also lives on Macquarie Island in the Southern Ocean.
This bird was exploited commercially in the past for its blubber, oil, meat, and feathers. Today, it is fully protected.
The king penguin stands at 70 to 100 cm (28 to 39 in) tall and weighs from 9.3 to 18 kg (21 to 40 lb). Although female and male king penguins are monomorphic they can be separated by their calls. Males are also slightly larger than females. The mean body mass of adults from Marion Island was 12.4 kg (27 lb) for 70 males and 11.1 kg (24 lb) for 71 females. Another study from Marion Island found that the mean mass of 33 adults feeding chicks was 13.1 kg (29 lb). The king penguin is approximately 25% shorter and weighs around a third less than the emperor penguin.

During the last trip to Masai Mara, I managed to see and photograph Olive the Leopard.
Olive is the daughter of Bella, famous from Big Cat Diaries on BBC.
This was taken after she had had a fight with her brother over a left over meal on top of a tree. After squabbling over it each one went their seperate ways with a portion of the left overs. She was sitting below the same tree hidden in some long grass thus making it a very difficult shot.
