Description

Clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa, Levhart oblackovy) from ZOO Usti nad Labem, Usti nad Labem, Czech republic :heart:



Story of the photo: Hurray! I am happy that I definitely have photos of those amazing cats! My previous camera was not able to take photos of them and moreover, I was unlucky so I never saw them in outside enclosure. But I finally had a chance to photograph them in ZOO Usti nad Labem :aww:

For ~Wild-Lweek , because he deserves to be given a photo of this elegant feline creature!

Thank you for your comments and faves :hug:
