Photo of a Leopard taken while on a day out the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Nr Doncaster
Taken using a Nikon D7100 and Sigma 120.0-400.0 mm f/4.5-5.6 lens
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 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.

the big cats were of course the main attraction. sadly it's a lot harder to get good pictures through bars, so i just don't have that many decent ones.
