This is Zoey2. She is a 4 year old Asiatic Leopard, born in August 2003. She'll be smaller than Zeus, who is an African Leopard. Her spot patterns are also different. Zoey2 is the spitting image of her namesake. She thinks she's double tough, and is trying to run the place! She is completely healthy and we are very fortunate to have her.

Leopards are found in India, Asia, and Africa and they hunt wildebeest, impala, gazelle, hares, rodents and many other small animals. These cats drag their prey, sometimes three times their own size, up into trees to keep other animals, such as lions and hyenas, from stealing it. Leopards have very powerful limbs and necks which enable them to carry such a heavy load. They use their long tails to balance themselves while climbing.
