Juvenile female Amur Leopard (panthera pardus orientalis) “Kiska”, born and bred at Marwell Wildlife, Hampshire, England. There are only an estimated 35 of these beautiful cats in the wild. Fortunately many zoos are keeping and breeding these critters to prevent them from extinction. I feel privileged that these guys live just down the road from me! ;o)
