Half Barbary Leopard. Last one on the planet. Small spots on the face are common (were common) in Barbary Leopards.
She is still alive and well at the Carnivore Preservation Trust in Pittsboro, NC.
This was a very endangered leopard that had to be kept away from humans and was part of a rare breeding program. He was stunning and had the most intense stare.
Leopards climb their favorite tree with their catch anfd eat it up in the tree. If you walk around, you will find lots of animal bones at the base of the tree.

Snow Leopard ... Female named Renjy
Uncia uncia
The snow leopard’s five-inch thick coat affords great protection from the cold. The coat also comes in handy as camouflage, helping the leopard blend in with the rocky terrain to hide from potential prey. Sadly, the beautiful coat also hinders the leopard’s survival, as poaching for the fur is one of its major threats.

Have a very nice day and week everyone!
Leopard frogs are nocturnal, so they are most active at night. During the day, they hide among plants on the shore. If they are startled, they will leap into the water, making a sharp turn underneath the surface. They will come back up hidden among some plants.
The breeding season for Southern Leopard Frogs is March to June. Female frogs will lay egg masses of up to 4,000 eggs in shallow water. Usually they attach to plant stems.
Tadpoles hatch from the eggs and eat algae and other small organisms in the water, including small insect larvae and water fleas. Tadpoles will transform to adult frogs by late Spring or early Summer.
After mating, adult frogs will wander away from the water, into woods or fields, hiding among plants or under logs. As Summer ends, frogs return to the water.
Adult Southern Leopard Frogs eat a wide variety of prey, including earthworms, spiders, centipedes, and many types of insects.
It was good to visit the St. Louis Zoo again. Probably one of the best zoos I've visited and it's free!
I remember this Amur leopard when she was still small. She's grown quiet a bit since the last time I saw her.
Once again, it took a bit of work to shoot her without the cage net showing up in the photo. I really wish that I had a faster lens with me at the time.
The Amur leopard is considered to be one of the most critically endangered big cats in the world, with roughly 30-40 individuals remaining in the wild. Habitat loss and hunting (for trophies and use in traditional medicines) are the biggest threats to Amur leopards in the wild.
The Amur leopard has been a protected species in Russia since 1956, but poaching is still a problem. Conservation efforts in the wild for these animals include anti-poaching patrols, customs control, fighting forest fires, environmental education programmes and working closely with local communities.

This female leopard, had left her three cubs for a short excursion. She was drinking rain water from a rock crevice, when she looked up and licked her nose.
