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 is the place where the snow leopard "stud book" is held. Very few remain wild.

Clouded Leopards are nocturnal and very secretive Ben now appear during daylight hours on a regular basis and you can photograph animals rarely seen by human eyes.
This was the last shot of the day .
These are a rare creature in wild and great to have the opportunity to get this close and get my shots. Thanks to all at WHF and John Wright at Photographers on Safari.
Leopard (Panthera pardus)
Kirkman's Camp in Mala Mala 1999.
La foto è presa da un fotogramma della videocamera Sony e lascia molto a desiderare, ma il ricordo e l'emozione di quell'incontro e quegli occhi giallo-verdi passano sopra ogni difetto tecnico.
This is Tang - the beautiful 15 year-old snow leopard at the Stone Zoo in Stoneham, Massachusetts. She was actually fairly close - it is hit or miss with her, since she usually sleeps way high up on the rocks. Needless to say, I was thrilled to see her, although I could not get her to look at the camera - silly cat!
This leopard had just dragged what was left of his kill up the tree, As can be seen, he(?) is fairly bloated after his meal.

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.
