Amur Leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis)

[Ngala]

From Leopard Land National Park:
"Unnamed leopardess gets a name on Leopard Day! The right to give a name to a rare cat was the main prize of the In the Leopard's Land quest held as part of the Leopard Day festival in Moscow. The unnamed leopardess was named Bela.
Zhasmina Achilova, 9, won the right to name the leopardess known as Leo 54F.
"I just made friends with a girl who is very beautiful, and her name is Bela. I decided to give the same name to the leopardess," the girl said.
Leo 54F is a female aged about six years old, living on the border of Russia and China. She was first spotted in 2014. Scientists believe that the leopardess was born in Russia but moved abroad as the spotted cat population grew.
The Leopard Day festival was held at Krasnaya Presnya Park on 27 August. The event was organised by the Far Eastern Leopards autonomous non-profit organisation with the support of the Moscow Government."
