Fortunately for everyone, a large glass panel and a chain-link fence provide protection after this leopard spots a young child and licks its lips

This was taken at Cape May County Park and Zoo in New Jersey!

Long range, low light and through thick, filthy glass... but Amur Leopard cubs!!!

Waited and waited at the Russia's Grizzly Coast compound at the Minnesota Zoo for this Amur Leopard [Panthera pardus orientalis] to do something more that just pose on the log.

Suddenly I had this shot and I heard the woman next to me tell her companion, "I got it with it's mouth open!" I hoped I did too and realized I had a good shot when I reviewed the photo.

This leopard's companion was named "Paulina" (aka Nina, according to a zoo docent), but I didn't get the name of this leopard . . . a rather beautiful creature much like it's kin, the snow leopard.

As you can see, I hazed out the background and foreground log a bit to keep the focus on the leopard's face.

This leopard had two young cubs, she was looking for a new den

It's such an amazing scene watching two rare snow leopards grooming each other.

Meshack spotted this leopard and he took this great picture. We had lunch right under the tree. Just us and the leopard... forgot what I ate but it was the best lunch I've ever had.
