Description

Baby male Amur leopard called Cipisek (Panthera pardus orientalis, Levhart mandzusky) from ZOO Olomouc, Czech republic :nod: not the best quality - but this animal is SO rare, that I have to share it!

Story of the photo: People, I am so happy :aww: I visited pavilion of big cats today and I spotted lovely tiny fluffy ball near huge paws of adult female. I was so shocked - this kitty is ONLY one month old! ZOO has not announced his birth yet :aww: his mommy took him from the box only two days ago. The baby is so small that it moves with problems and is very adorable :aww: Czech republic is super power in breeding extremely endangered Amur leopards! :aww:


Thank you in advance for your comments and faves :hug:
