Description

When: May 20, 2020

Where: BestZOO Best, The Netherlands

Just when you think you've got yourself a quiet spot away from your quadruplets, one of your cubs finds out how to climb up there...

Ah well, Aysen is a great Mom - she wasn't too miffed to see her baby And you have to give credit to the little one for climbing all the way up there!

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.
