Amur Leopard - Esra

Amur leopards, one of the, if not the most endangered big cat species on the planet are represented at the Colchester Zoological Society by Esra (photo here) and Crispin. The two are a breeding pair and have cubs in September 2019 and in November 2024.
Esra and Crispin providing great photo opportunities on our Big Cat Photography workshop, and often also on our other photography workshops at Colchester Zoo.
At quieter times and sometimes also without any indication beforehand in the middle of the day, Esra comes up closer to the window area, providing great opportunities like for this photo.
