Amur leopards are one of the rarest cats in the world with an estimated 35 to 45 individuals remaining in the wild.
This Leopard was just giving out a warning to 'stay clear' so understandably a 'please' was not needed
what a beautiful animal

The morning of day 13, our final day in Kenya. We have only a few hours before we need to catch a noon flight to Nairobi, so the question was how best to use our time.
We had a discussion the previous evening, and the consensus was to see if we could find a leopard, the one animal we had not had a chance to get a good look at. Our tour guides did a terrific job leveraging their Maasai connections to track down one. They made it look so easy and routine – of all the African animals, the extremely secretive and lonely leopard is the hardest to find.
We had great lighting, and not only we found a leopard, we also got very close to it, and on one occasion, it even went right past our vehicle, and got to within about 4-5 feet.
This is such an amazing and rare animal to see, so I took a 100+ shots. Here are a few.

One of the two beautiful Snow Leopards at the Calgary Zoo, taken on September 30th.
"Snow leopards live between 3,000 and 5,500 metres (9,800 and 18,000 ft) above sea level in the rocky mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. Their secretive nature means that their exact numbers are unknown, but it has been estimated that between 3,500 and 7,000 snow leopards exist in the wild and between 600 and 700 in zoos worldwide."

It's quarter to 1:00 in the morning and I have to be up at 5:20 a.m. (better than the 4:10 a.m. this morning!) to do the Calgary Christmas Bird Count, so I thought I'd post my photos very early, before I fall into bed. The small group I'm part of tomorrow (4 of us?) will be searching part of the NE of the city to see what birds we can find and how many of each. Today, I took part in the Canmore (near Banff in the Rocky Mountains) Christmas Bird Count. Four of us walked all the streets and alleys in the Harvey Heights area. A beautiful winter's day - yet very few of my photos turned out, ha!
Have any of you seen these cute little Pixar videos (I got the links from YouTube)? I posted the links last December and happened to just come across them again a few minutes ago..

This Leopard was given to the Africat Foundation as a cub after his mother was killed by a farmer. As he was so young he had to be hand reared which led to him being too comfortable around humans. After an unsuccesful attempt to release him into the wild (he was found sleeping on a settee in Africats reception) he was built a large enclosure at Africat where members of the public can watch his daily feed from a hide.
