Phoenix Zoo January 2015. I had to pick up some zoo tickets for an upcoming events door prize. One of my daughters accompanied me after work and we did a quick walk around the Phoenix Zoo. It was fun reminiscing about when they were young and the adventures we had at the zoo. These are a few of the animals we found.

Pictures from my book 'Centurio the little snow leopard'
Taken at Out of Africa Wildlife Park in Arizona. She only has three legs but that didn't stop her from getting her food at feeding time.
The Bengal cat is the only domestic breed of cat that has rosette markings.
People most often associate the Bengal with the most popular color: the Brown spotted/rosetted Bengal. However, Bengals have a wide variety of markings and colors. Even within the Brown spotted/rosetted category a Bengal can be: red, brown, black, ticked, grey, spotted, rosetted, clouded. Many people are stunned by the Bengal Cat's resemblance to a leopard. Among domestic cats, the Bengal markings are perhaps the most varied and unique.

FACTS
The Leopard eats whatever form of animal protein is available, from Termites to Waterbuck. Where humans have depleted prey the Leopard turns to livestock and domestic dogs.
The Leopard caches its kills in trees to prevent Lions & Hyenas from taking its food.
The Leopard is solitary and territorial but sometimes shares hunting ranges.
The black phase of this species is called a BLACK PANTHER.
Nthombi, looking very regal. All three leopards were in the tree together feeding on the impala this mother killed the night before. A Spotted Hyena was hanging around at the foot of the tree, waiting for scraps.
