Having only just entered KNP a while earlier this leopard sighting set the scene for the rest of the holiday. Unfortunately being in a low vehicle and adjacent to grass, I have some obstructions. Not the best photo but nevertheless cool!

We were very clever to find this Leopard, it entailed of someone pulling up to us and saying "If you're quick there's a Leopard down there"

Crouched Leopard, ready to pounce on their prey.

Leopard (Hlébarði; Panthera pardus).

 

A large, ferocious cat of Africa and southern Asia, having either tawny fur with dark rosettelike markings or black fur. In great extinction threat

Not to be misstaken for a cheetah, panther or jaguar.

A new male snow leopard arrived at Taronga mid this year to be paired with the resident female.

They appear to now be sharing their public exhibit area reasonably amicably ... mainly by splitting the area in two, and one leopard spending most of its time up the top of the cliff while the other is down in the lower area. With the occasional tentative visit of (i assume) the male towards the female.

 

It's meant that the snow leopards tend to be much more visible whenever i've visited their exhibit. And it seems to be that the snow leopards are sharing their enclosure all the time, not just when the female is in season. Either that, or i have just come at the right time whenever i've visited.

 

Hopefully, this pair will produce a new generation of snow leopards. Last snow leopard babies born at Taronga must have been about 5 years ago, and by the time i saw them they were pretty well adult size.

Distribuzione e status

Il Leopardo delle nevi si trova dall'Afghnistan al lago Baikal e in Tibet orientale nelle regioni montuose e rocciose fino anche a 6000 m di altitudine. Cacciato per i danni causati al bestiame, per la bellezza della sua pelliccia e come trofeo, il Leopardo delle nevi ha subito un pesante declino. La specie è inclusa nell'Appendice I della CITES ed è classificata come in pericolo (EN) dall'IUCN. Il Leopardo delle nevi si può considerare il re dei ghiacci: è una delle specie di felino che vivono nelle zone più fredde della terra. Pelo lungo e folto, manto con colorazione e disegni mimetici, spesso strato di grasso sottocutaneo, zampe corte, udito finissimo, vista acuta sono gli adattamenti morfologici selezionati per sopravvivere in questo ambiente estremo. Il Parco Natura Viva, insieme ad altre 76 istituzioni, partecipa all'EEP della specie, che coordina una popolazione di 229 esemplari di Leopardo delle nevi.

It's been 4 weeks since I photographed Brookfield Zoo's Snow Leopard cub, Everest. He has grown quite a bit, and boy does he like to play! He keeps his mom, Sarani, very busy! It is so fun to watch them interact with one another.

Taken in a small zoo in Norfolk called Banham

Earlier in 2010 I was lucky enough to be able to go on a safari based at Arathusa Safari Lodge in South African. This lodge lies within the Sabi Sand Private Reserve, flanking the unfenced Kruger National Park.

We were treated to an exceptional wildlife experience, lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo, and much more all amazingly close to us as we travelled though the bush in an open top jeep.
