Big Cats Are Great & Cool

Growing Up Black Leopard

I watched Growing Up Black Leopard on Animal Planet yesterday.  The leopard's name is Eddy.  I've seen the show a couple of times before, but I liked watching it again.  Eddy lives at the Rocky Mountain Wildlife Conservation Center.

I watched Growing Up Siberian Lynx a few days ago and it was great too.

I got a set of big cat figures.  It has a tiger, leopard, snow leopard, clouded leopard, lynx, ocelot, lion, lioness, jaguar, and puma.
