This handout photo received on June 19, 2008 courtesy of the Saint Louis Zoo in St. Louis, Missouri shows a rare Amur leopard born at the Zoo. A litter of two critically endangered Amur leopards, a male and a female, were born at the Saint Louis Zoo on May 10. The male was stillborn. The female cub was removed for hand-rearing from Big Cat Country to the Zoo's veterinary hospital because her mother failed to demonstrate proper maternal care. For the past month, little Sofiya (so-FEE-ah) which means "wisdom" has been cared for by the Carnivore unit and veterinary staffs. The Amur leopard is considered one of the most endangered cat subspecies in the world. It is believed that fewer than 40 Amur leopards remain in the coniferous forests of Primorye Province in far eastern Russia. Loss of habitat due to logging activities, human encroachment and poaching are some of the threats to their survival in the wild. AFP PHOTO/ST.
