Rokan the Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae). photographed at the National Zoo.
laelaps | April 7, 2009About a month ago I posted a photograph of one of my favorite subjects, one of the snow leopards (Panthera uncia) from the Bronx Zoo. Shortly after I put it up Judy, who blogs at crazybasenji.com, asked if I could send along a higher-res copy so that she could paint it! I was delighted by the idea, and I am happy to say that the painting is really starting to come together. Check it out;
Update #1
Update #2
Update #3
Update #4
I can hardly wait to see the finished work of art!

This morning I decided to make the most of the unusually warm weather by heading to the Bronx Zoo. I will post some of the photos I took during the coming days and weeks, but I couldn't wait to share this shot of a snow leopard.

I have been out and about for most of the day and have not had much time to write. In lieu of a real post, here is a photograph of an Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) I took just this afternoon at the Turtleback Zoo in Essex, New Jersey.
