We didn't really get any great views of leopards on our first visit to Kruger in 2007. However, this year (2008), this one was waiting for us at the side of the road on our drive from Skukuza airfield to Jock Safari Lodge! Beautiful - the camouflage against the grasses was very impressive too...
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.

There's usually some serious discussion about Leopord Frogs in Jersey since Jersey has both Northern and Southern, and possibly some hybrids to boot, but this guy is definitely Southern, and very likely the Florida subspecies.
