I found this lovely snow leopard at the Denver Zoo this week. She's sharing the enclosure with her baby snow leopard. He's not a tiny little baby anymore, more of a snow leopard teenager. :)
This was the only time she looked at me!

When we saw the leopard and it’s cub they were playing in the bushes. Waited patiently for a while and both came out and started to walk around. This is the cub. via 500px ift.tt/2xKvgKp
A picture of an Amur Leopard I bumped into on the weekend, although it was in Marwell zoo. Had it not been in a zoo, i would have been incredibly lucky as there was only between 19-26 Amur Leopards left in the wild in a census in 2007.
This leopard is actually just a few feet from a vehicle. Our guide said this was one of the best leopard days they have had in a long time. There were three leopards, and this one came right up next to us. These cats are can be very camouflaged in the dry grasses.
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.
