Leopard

The leopard is a symbol of stealth and grace, known for its golden coat adorned with distinctive rosette markings. These big cats are solitary hunters, capable of climbing trees to stash their prey away from scavengers. Their keen senses and adaptability allow them to thrive in a variety of habitats, from dense forests to arid savannas.

At the zoo, leopards are a highlight for their agile movements and piercing eyes. Behind the scenes, their care focuses on enrichment that encourages natural behaviors, such as climbing platforms, logs, and puzzle feeders that mimic hunting. Their diet consists of fresh meat and supplements to ensure optimal health. Zookeepers also pay special attention to their dental health, as strong jaws are essential for their survival. Visitors are often fascinated by the leopard's ability to leap great distances, a testament to their athletic prowess.
