African Leopard
Nyla, an African leopard, had a habit of stealthily "hunting" her toys, which zookeepers would hide around her enclosure. Her favorite game was stalking a robotic mouse that moved unpredictably. These enrichment activities kept her physically and mentally engaged, and visitors loved watching her display her natural instincts. Nyla’s story helped raise awareness about the challenges leopards face in the wild, including habitat loss and poaching.
