An Amur leopard "smiling" at the camera, dappled in a mix of sunlight and shadows. Don't let him fool you, he'll maul you despite his nice looks.

Me: "I've got everything settled for the EF art show. My panel is full."
Also me: "But what if just one more little print, maybe...?"

An amur leopard cub sitting oin front of a big stone and a tree. Her tail's tip is pointing upwards in an excited-curious wiggle while she stares just slightly off to the side of the point of view.

Attentive

Shot quite some time ago, but it's always nice to go back to her :D

A photo of an amur leopard reclining on a rock. Her head is raised and she's looking at the viewer with a curious expression. Her right paw is resting on her left leg, just waiting for the grooming session to continue.

Can't ever go wrong with pretty kitty, I think.

A very young Amur leopard cub, about housecat-sized, looking to the left. Whiskers are already sprouting wildly.

Bonus: 5 months earlier.

A photo of a young amur leopardess glancing at the viewer. She's lit by the evening sun, perched on a rocky little hollow with her paws dangling from the opening, out of focus. She has very long whiskers and an almost questioning stare.

I was reminded of this picture of Manju, a young Amur leopard I took a couple of photos of a few years ago. She's about a year old in this picture. Since moved to the Copenhagen zoo that I hope to go visit sometime :)
