Thank you I was lucky that he/she seemed very interested in the Amur leopard next door and was trying to look over into their enclosure.
Great pic, all the Asian golden cats I've ever seen (only 2, but seen on many visits) were ALWAYS curled up in the exhibit, with only their backs facing the visitor areas. Was fun to search for them though, they are very good at hiding. Also, is that a particularly dark cat? The ones I have seen in NZ seemed much lighter than that I thought.
Thats a lovely photograph never seen one myself so very happy to see a very good photo of one on here
Great photo! It does not look unusually dark, but the white streaks on the bottom half of its body are a bit unusual.
In that case that will be the younger of the two males at the zoo. Bruno is down by the aardwolves and sunbears. The female, Swai-Fai, is at the top of the carnivore walk between the wolverine and the jaguar. Ipoh, here, is between the tigers and the leopard.
In that case, Bruno and Ipoh must have swapped at some point since, as when I visited on Monday I'm pretty sure it was Ipoh down by the sunbears - as the cat in that enclosure had been shaved on one side, and I know Ipoh has recently had an operation.
