Description
This clouded leopard is the most photogenic animal in the San Antonio Zoo. Just about half of my favorite shots are of this animal.EDIT (06-06-05): Slightly altered the colors, fixed the high contrast somewhat. Also, the image is slightly larger (about 100 pixels wider).

Thank you very much. These guys are really a pleasure to photograph, simply because they're so photogenic. This particular shot has earned this guy the name "Baby Face." I took this picture almost a year and a half ago, but the name has stuck through the entire time. It's one of the first great shots I ever took (if I do say so myself), and it's still probably my favorite. Glad you like it.

Definitely is. Actually, if you check the markings, you'll see that just about all of my recent clouded leopard pictures (including the nail biter picture) are of this same guy. He just keeps making more and more good poses. I love it.

you are very welcome. I assume you took the picture at the zoo. the clouded leapord is one of the most endangered species of cat isn't it?

robbobert In reply to epiphany18 [2005-10-24 18:13:50 +0000 UTC]
I did take this picture at the zoo. Tracking a clouded leopard down in the wild would unfortunately be way beyond me. It's sad, but these days, you can pretty much pick a cat's name out of a hat, and it will be endangered. Clouded leopards are endangered, but I'm not sure exactly how high up on the scale they are. I do know that tigers probably hold top honors, but that's not really relevant.
I just hope the day doesn't come that the only place to see them is the zoo. That would really be sad, you know?

epiphany18 In reply to robbobert [2005-10-25 05:11:53 +0000 UTC]
Yeah that would be very sad. Wild animals have a hard time in captivity. I mean they're taken care of but being unable to be in their natural environment has to be difficult. The tiger probably does hold the title for the most endangered cat. but if I'm not mistaken the clouded leapord has a much smaller home range and therefore more elusive. regardless you had a beautiful animal and you took a wonderful shot of him/her. by the way I really like your quote.
take care and I look forward to see more of your work.

From your gallery, this is definitely the most prominent photo, for me at least. The subject is so natural... not to mention cute in a fierce wildcat sort of way... I really enjoy this! You must have pretty nice zoom to get photos like this.

Thank you. I don't why, but these guys just like to pose for me, although I haven't had much luck getting pictures in my past few visits (the clouded leopard has been asleep every time).
