Kootenays, British Columbia- When I first encountered this animal, I thought, it was just a wild cat, rather large, but I wanted a photograph; I quickly came to my senses and realized I was too close! Pretty sure this is a Lynx, that eats rabbits and squirrels. It is mainly in the eastern part of British Columbia and the Rocky Mountains. This one seemed rather young and weighed between 18-25 lbs., had a big head, large paws and cautious eyes! OH, THIS ONE WAS ACTUALLY IN A SECURE COMPOUND!
Rescue animal from circus or movie industry? Photo taken in game farm, no longer in operation, in B.C. Interior. Seemed well cared for and probably would not have been able to fend for it's self if returned to the wild. Leopards live 23 years in captivity and 10-11 in the wild.
About the cat from bigcatrescue.org.
Size and Appearance: The leopard is the smallest member of the 4 "great cats" and most closely resembles its cousin the Jaguar. Leopards vary in length from 3 - 6.25 ft with a tail length of 22.5 - 43 inches, and stand 17.5 - 30.5 inches high at the shoulder. Males weigh between 80 - 150 pounds and females between 62.5 - 100 pounds. This spotted cat has short powerful limbs, heavy torso, thick neck, and long tail. Its short sleek coat varies greatly from pale straw and gray buff to bright, deep ochre and chestnut, and sometimes black (found mostly in wetter, dense forests). Large black spots grouped into rosettes on the shoulders, upper arms, back, flanks and haunches, and smaller scattered spots on the lower limbs, head, throat and chest, and the belly has large black blotches. .
