Африканский чёрный леопард

Wait for it… San Diego Zoo Global remote cameras recently recorded a black leopard mother and her two cubs at Mpala in Laikipia County, Kenya. The cameras were placed by Ambrose Letoluai and Dr. Nicholas Pilfold, who are working together on leopards in Laikipia. This female and her cubs are new to the team, and bring the confirmed total of black leopards living in the study area to five. Although mom is black, she has one golden cub and one black cub. To protect the cubs and their mother, and give them best chance of survival, Mpala is keeping the site off-limits to visitors for now. Special thanks to our partners for making this incredible discovery possible: Kenya Wildlife Service, Loisaba Conservancy, The Nature Conservancy in Africa, Mpala Research Centre, County Government of Laikipia & Destination Laikipia.
