Happy belated 1st bday to our pawsome Amur cub duo, Dot and Mae! 🎉 With fewer than 80 individuals left in the wild, Amur leopards are the rarest big cat species on the planet. To put that into perspective, the Zoo is currently home to 8 Amur leopards, which represents about 10% of the wild population. But these bright spots provide hope for the Amur subspecies and we’re proud to help get these cats out of the tough spot they’re currently in. #bigcatsofinstagram #brightspots #criticallyendangered #amurleopard #sandiegozoo #EndExtinction 📷Mike Wilson (L-R: Dot Then & Now, Mae Then & Now)
