OK these are the last of my son Justin's photos I'm posting - he must get his own flickr account. He has an uncanny relationship with animals - they seem to "seek him out".
SNOW LEOPARD (uncia uncia) | Schneeleopard | Léopard des neiges | Leopardo delle nevi
Snow leopards live between 3,000 and 5,500 metres (9,800 and 18,000 ft) above sea level in the rocky mountain ranges of Central Asia. It has been estimated that between 3,500 and 7,000 snow leopards exist in the wild and between 600 and 700 in zoos worldwide.
The Snow Leopard is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN red list!
"The most secretive and elusive of the large carnivores, the leopard is also the shrewdest. Pound for pound, it is the strongest climber of the large cats and capable of killing prey larger than itself."

This beautiful leopard was rescued by the GW Exotic Animal Park. He had been mistreated and they have rescued him and given him a good, safe home. GW is near Davis, Oklahoma and is a wonderful place to go and see various animals. I think they have the largest population of tigers around.
It was a pleasant morning at Sanjay Gandhi National Park . Its a beautiful forest with a good number of Leopard population . It is situated almost in the heart of Mumbai and Thane. Due to human encroachment and illegal constructions , its fighting hard for the survival. Dogs are not the natural prey of the leopards but due to scarcity of herbivores , Leopards frequently wander out of the core area.
These chaps were not at all worried and they were having a real good time. Its a harsh reality . Its high time, we realize this and do something about our forests. Before its too late.......

We were just about to leave the Kruger park when we saw it sat on the verge. It walked along beside us for a while as I snapped away. At one point it stopped and walked straight across the road towards us...prompting me to rapidly wind up my window! But then it dissapeared off into the brush. Beautiful...shame it was with my old camera so there was a bit of lack of zoom and resolution...I'll just have to go on safari again.
