Hm. Judging by the size of this cat's head and the stockiness of its build, and also the large size of the spots, I think this might be a jaguar. I could very well be wrong, but I know that jaguars have big black rosary spots with dots in the middle, and I know they're much shorter and more heavy-set than leopards. Like I said I could be wrong, but it might be worth looking into to make sure.
However, you captured this specimen excellently. This is a truly beautiful shot.

You are correct. I am not sure why i titled it as a leopard. The zoo i was at also had snow leopards so maybe i just wasn't using my brain when i titled this photo. Thank you for pointing that out!

Nice shot! Like the way the head is the only clear part of the picture

Luckily for me, this is a very new exhibit and most of the glass was still decently clean. reflections were still giving me trouble though. i had to cycle through quite a few bad ones

it was great! that leopard was pacing around in circles sometimes passing the glass, sometimes stopping and staring through it.
