The African Leopard’s Grace
Kaya, an African leopard, is the embodiment of elegance and strength. Her golden coat, adorned with intricate black rosettes, shimmers in the sunlight as she lounges on her favorite tree branch. Kaya’s journey to the zoo began as part of a program to rescue animals from illegal wildlife trade.
Known for her intelligence, Kaya enjoys solving puzzles and engaging with enrichment tools that challenge her natural hunting instincts. Her favorite activity is chasing a mechanical lure, which keeps her physically active and mentally stimulated. Visitors are often captivated by her stealthy movements and piercing gaze, which seem to capture the wild spirit of Africa. Through Kaya, the zoo educates guests about the importance of protecting African leopards and preserving their shrinking habitats.
