A full body shot of the Amur Leopard at Marwell. Critically Endangered, a census in Feb 2000 found only between 22-27 Amur or Far Eastern Leopards left in the wild. Found in southern Russia and northern China these animals are superbly adapted for the harsh winters of these parts of the world. They have long fur and a layer of fat on their flanks and belly for insulation. They are excellent climbers and swimmers. The main threat to the region is the exploration and exploitation of oil and natural gases. Increased Middle East instability, effective technology that can survive the cold and the high demand for fossil fuels, puts this wonderful animal’s habitat under increasing pressure.

This is Milena, a rare Amur Leopard cub, photographed here at just a few months old after being successfully bred at Marwell Zoo, Hampshire, England. The Amur Leopard is extremely endangered with only a handful remaining in the wild. Milena now resides at Colchester Zoo where they are hoping she will produce cubs of her own.
This is an old shot from January and I have to say, I really love it. /
THis tasteful Snow Leopards eye is actually not a good one. / /
