Oregon Zoo’s Newest Big Cat

… can’t wait to meet you for lunch. :)

Kia, an 11 year old female Amur Leopard joined Frederick at the zoo. She takes the place of Frederick’s sister who died of cancer last year. Frederick hasn’t had to share his space since then, but he seems to be adapting ok.

Kia comes from the Erie Zoo in Pennsylvania. They have a very active breeding program for these cats and by taking Kia from them, we’ve given them room to have more kittens. Leopard Kittens, cute, eh?
