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.
