Leopold the Amur Leopard
I was touched by the difficulties that these beings have been facing in the last years.
They were highly endangered and it seems that the situation is improving now.
I feel that Leopold has definitely absorbed the energy that I have been transmitting to him during the process of creation and has, to me, become alive. When looking in his eyes I see a wise, loving old soul which is probably in contrast with the feelings of danger and fear that usually this species is known for.
