Feline Fangs This photo was taken in the Nandankanan Zoological Park in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. I was lucky enough to catch an Amur Leopard yawning on a lazy and horribly humid afternoon. Totally worth it. Amur leopard,Geotagged,India,Indian leopard,Leopard,Panthera pardus,Panthera pardus fusca,Panthera pardus orientalis Click/tap to enlarge

    Welcome to JungleDragon, Pritish! Great image. Is it really an Amur leopard though? Is it a synonym? Posted 11 years ago

The Indian leopard

The Indian leopard is a leopard subspecies widely distributed on the Indian subcontinent and classified as "Near Threatened" by IUCN since 2008. The species "Panthera pardus" may soon qualify for the "Vulnerable" status due to habitat loss and fragmentation, heavy poaching for the illegal trade of skins and body parts in Asia, and persecution due to conflict situations.
