This snow leopard at the Louisville Zoo had a certain look in his eyes that made me a little bit glad that he was behind the fence. At the same time, I felt a little sorry for him. He really looked like he was free in his mind.

This is Tara, one of the two Amur leopards at the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, Massachusetts. As you can see, I have the worst time getting a decent shot of her with the fence. She is so pretty, though, that I wanted to share her with my Flickr friends.

he Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) is a leopard subspecies native to the Primorye region of southeastern Russia, and is classified as Critically Endangered since 1996 by IUCN. Only 14–20 adults and 5–6 cubs were counted in a census in 2007 which leaves with a total of between 19 to 26 amur leopards left.[1]

When the herd of impala moved right under the tree, the leopard turned around, sat up and took interest. We thought it might strike, but it did not. Our guide said that it must not have been hungry. The impala had no idea of its presence and were quite lucky that day. Let's hope all these creatures are around for our grandchildren and their granchildren to see.
