If he had backed just a few more inches away from the cage, I could have eliminated the wire by the depth of field. However, when the picture actually came out, I felt the wire actually added almost a sense of sadness to the shot.
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.

My first sighting of a leopard on this trip. This cub was completely alone (apart from numerous vehicles on this first occasion only) but it seemed happy to display itself without fear.

The two Amur leopards at the Living Desert are really a thrill to watch because, besides being simply magnificent animals, the enclosure allows the public to be just inches away, with just a viewing glass between them and the big cats. It is possible to photograph through the glass if you can work around when the sun hits it, etc. This image is quite amazing if you view it large with that "L" key!
