this leopard - the Wallingford male, aka Wally - was sitting on a termite mound, waiting patiently for the warthog hiding in a den. We stayed with him for half an hour until the night came. By that time, we knew the warthog would sleep all night in there, and so we left. Wally stayed.
Got to see the two snow leopards at the zoo out and about for once! Haven't been since they got the ale and usually the female was hiding in some spot that allowed you to only see her paw or nose.

The Houston Zoo's leopard knew that it was dinner time very soon, and sat patiently awaiting the keeper.
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.
