Description
When: November 21, 2020
Where: BestZOO Best, The Netherlands
Do you ever experience a moment when you're chanting to yourself, "I am brave, I am brave" on repeat?
It really looks like this cub is experiencing such a moment! But really, these babies are so much braver than I could ever be. You just have to admire them for that.
Species: Sri Lankan Leopard (Sri Lankaanse panter)
Latin name: Panthera Pardus Kotiya
Originates from Sri Lanka.
Current status: Endangered
Did you know:
…The Sri Lankan Leopard was only first described in 1956, by the Sri Lankan zoologist Deraniyagala.
…Its Latin addition “kotiya” is a Sinhala name, but has been often wrongly translated as “Tiger” due to incorrect information, mistaking Leopards for “diviya”, the Sinhala term for small wild cats; since then, “kotiya” has been used for Tigers, and “diviya” for Leopards.
