So there is such terrible news going around about poaching and the death of our animals – and it seems so bleak for Wildlife in Africa… Then I hear about a rare type of leopard that has been spotted in a reserve in Mpumalanga – and it kinda makes me feel all warm and fuzzy – it’s a strawberry coloured leopard. Yes strawberry coloured…
Normal leopards have a tawny coat with black spots but this one may have erythrism, a little-understood genetic condition that's thought to cause either an overproduction of red pigments or an underproduction of dark pigments.
How awesome is this?
I really hope that it doesn't fall prey to a poacher.
