Happy 17th Birthday, Judda! 🥳
Judda is an Amur leopard, a critically endangered subspecies of spotted leopard. These cats are endemic to the Russian Far East and northeastern China. In the 1970s, there were only 30 Amur leopards left in the wild. Now, there are over 100 individuals and the population is stable and increasing! Find out more at https://conservewildcats.org/.
Judda loves rolling on her back like in the photo, lapping up chicken baby food, and lying in the shade under her platform!
