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.

Apart from Leopard, Sloth Bear, Asian Elephant, Jackal and several other mammal species can also be seen here. For more information, please visit www.jetwingeco.com
Day trip to the West Midland Safari Park today. Lots of photo ops, vying to get the best photo when all the other drivers are IN YOUR WAY !!
Well, you see must be special because all the other big cats are kept outside
Hmm, the sun was setting and the night-active Leopard out early on a ledge in the steep ravine. We were heading to the hotel for the night, in good speed in the jeep. The driver/guide stepped on the brakes and went into reverse a few meters. Craning his head this way and that and reversing some more. He then found the tiny brake in the foliage of the trees along the road that gave free glimpse on to the ravine's opposite side. And then he found what made him stop...
Then began the problem of getting us tourists find the exact spot, not only where to look but also FROM where to look. The window of opportunity was small, to say the least.
Luckily the cat sat still, pondering the nights upcoming shenanigans so we got the time needed to sort the details out. We all saw him/her. I tried a few shots, despite no light and shuttertimes in the league of 1/4'th second or so. Ridiculous, I know, but there was a LEOPARD up there, for heaven's sake and I couldn't get any closer and to see a leopard in India is way up higher than seeing tiger. And tiger we've seen a few times already on this our first day in Ranthambore. The Leopard for me was a lifer and to this day I've never seen another.
So I took this photo, and I've kept it and photoshopped it into some resemblance of the motive and here it is!
