Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis)

A highly endangered big cat, it's natural habitat has been reduced to a small area where the borders of China, Russia and North Korea join.
Only about 35 remain in the wild, almost all in Russia.
These three juveniles are very active and playful.

Gorgeous trio! The green provides a nice contrast of color against their beautiful coats. V

Beautiful beasts. This is a terrific image with the three of them 'entangled'. Three is definitely not a crowd here. V

This is so cute. They think they're fierce. Well, actually they are even if they're still just kittens. Beautiful animals and photo. V.
