Visited Turtle Back Zoo (in West Orange, NJ), couple weeks back. Turtle back zoo is pretty small, but great place for a short visit, and really great for little kids. The last time I was there, i was in the 2nd or 3rd grade out on a school field trip. That was many many many years ago!!

Ein Leopard im Savuti Game Reserve (Chobe-Nationalpark, Botswana).
A Leopard in the Savuti Game Reserve (Chobe National Park, Botswana).
The Indochinese leopard (Panthera pardus delacouri) is a leopard subspecies native to mainland Southeast Asia and southern China. In Indochina, leopards are rare outside protected areas and threatened by habitat loss due to deforestation as well as poaching for the illegal wildlife trade.
The trend of the population is suspected to be decreasing. The extent of the population decline revealed by a 2016 study surprised the researchers: its population is believed to be 1,000–2,500 individuals, with only 400–1,000 breeding adults.
There appears to be a disjunction around the Kra Isthmus, where the population changes from predominantly black forms south of the Isthmus to predominantly spotted forms north of the Isthmus. Records from camera-trapping studies conducted at 22 locations in Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand between 1996 and 2009 show that only melanistic leopards were present in samples south of the Isthmus. In the dense tropical forest habitat in part of their range, melanism is quite common, and black leopards have a selective advantage for ambush.
The Indochinese leopard historical distribution range includes Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and South China. As of 2016, the species is functionally extinct in Vietnam and Laos and nearly extinct in Cambodia and China. Two strongholds and one priority site have been mentioned: Peninsular Malaysia and the Northern Tenasserim Forest Complex on Thailand-Myanmar border on the one side and eastern Cambodia on the other.

We live in an Instagram/Facebook world. Every photo is THE photo. How can you ever live up to that? Everyone's life/experience seems better than yours. But, it's not true.
Leopards can be really hard to see. Even if you go on the ultimate trip, you might see just one - one single leopard. You might get a really bad cramp contorting yourself to get a lame shot. You may think you failed. And maybe you did fail, but it doesn't mean your trip or experience is any less than anyone else's.
