The Amur Leopard or Far Eastern Leopard is one of the eight subspecies of leopard. It is only found in the Russian Far East and North East China and there are fewer than 70 individuals left in the wild. This makes it one of the world’s most endangered big cats.
Similar to other leopards, the Amur leopard can run at speeds of up to 37 miles per hour. This incredible animal has been reported to leap more than 19 feet horizontally and up to 10 feet vertically.
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.
This Leopard was injured (although he or she looked splendid to me) and was being treated in a animal hospital in Kenya. The hospital was open to visitors becoming, in essence, a very unique zoo.

Went to Marwell Zoo today and caught the leopard in a really convenient postition on a log for photos.
Being a bit lazy and obviously tired he decided to do a nice big yawn whilst I took my photo.
I know my photoshopping skills are a little rusty here but it was getting late and I wanted to go to bed.

The leopard , Panthera pardus, is a member of the Felidae family and the smallest of the four "big cats" in the genus Panthera, the other three being the tiger, lion, and jaguar. The leopard was once distributed across eastern and southern Asia and Africa, from Siberia to South Africa, but its range of distribution has decreased radically because of hunting and loss of habitat. It is now chiefly found in sub-Saharan Africa; there are also fragmented populations in Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Malaysia, and China. Because of its declining range and population, it is listed as a "Near Threatened" species by the IUCN.
Compared to other members of the Felidae family, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but is smaller and more slightly built. Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are smaller and more densely packed, and do not usually have central spots as the jaguars do. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic (completely black or very dark) are known as black panthers.
The species' success in the wild is in part due to its opportunistic hunting behavior, its adaptability to habitats, its ability to run at speeds approaching 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph), its unequaled ability to climb trees even when carrying a heavy carcass, and its notorious ability for stealth. The leopard consumes virtually any animal that it can hunt down and catch. Its habitat ranges from rainforest to desert
