at Leopard Heights, in Yorkshire Wildlife Park....a fantastic enclosure built for the purpose of being stimulating for the animal. Lots of wooden beams and platforms for him to climb as well as grasslands - seen here just in nick of time through glass window. Doncaster, South Yorks, UK. May 2015.

The amur leopard at the Oregon Zoo saw me walk up to the window glass with a camera. I am sure of this. The leopard then walked out and sat down in a perfect pose, right in the perfect light and proceeded to look very regal because this leopard knows that it is cool.
Once I had my photo, the leopard slunk back to the darkness. Really.
The amur leopard is extremely endangered with only 35 in the wild and about 200 in zoo breeding programs.
Photographed using a Lumix GH-2 and a 50mm f/1.4 prime Minolta MC/MD mount lens with a micro four thirds adapter. Photographed at about f/2.

A beautiful cat resting in his environs. After going for a business training trip today we had a chance to stop at the Sacramento Zoo. Only had about an hour and 1/2 but it was good to see it. I've wanted to go for a while now. Of course I think early in the morning would be a much better time as most of the animals looked pretty tired or they weren't even visible in their compound. We saw a few beautiful animals like this snow leopard. It reminds me somewhat of my little white cat. Many similarities and of a few major differences too.
Stupid fence!
And for the record, I understand the need for it... but it did mess up a great photo-op.
I pushed the f/ to 2.8 to minimize it.
Taken at Marwell Zoological Park, England.
Marwell is highly recommended and is very camera friendly. The Snow Leopard enclosure is part of the 'Roof of the World" area and is the best I've seen in a Zoo. It features a waterfall, rocky outcrops, caves and a pool. There are three snow leopards at Marwell.

North Chinese Leopard
Conservation status: Endangered (IUCN 3.1)
The North Chinese leopard is a subspecies of leopard native to Northern China. Like most Asian subspecies it is classified as endangered by the IUCN. Its prey base consists of deer and wild boar, but like any leopard it will eat almost anything it can catch including birds, rodents and even insects.
About the same size as its northern cousin the Amur leopard, the North Chinese leopard also has similar fur coloration and density, although it is a little darker and shorter. The average weight in the wild is 50 kg (110 lb) for adult males and 32 kg (70 lb) for females.
This range of this subspecies is well fragmented today but it once ranged from Central China from Lanzhou, north to the mountains south of the Chinese Gobi Desert, and east through Harbin.
The North Chinese leopard mates in January and February and after a gestation period of 105-110 days two to three young are born. The cubs weigh about one pound at birth, and open their eyes when they are about 10 days old. They will stay with their mother until they are about 20-24 months old.
Like all leopards, the North Chinese leopard is a solitary cat except for mating pairs and females with cubs. Adult males and females usually maintain territories. A male's territory will overlap the territory of more than one female.
