Resting in the shadows

Description

I loved the play of shadow across the leopards face and the rock beneath him. Of course his eyes attracted me as well.

As listed on Unsplash, where I got the photograph, this is a North Chinese Leopard.
The photographer is listed as Mohamed Jamil Latrach

According to AI overview on Google:
The North China leopard (Panthera pardus japonensis) is a critically endangered leopard subspecies native to northern China. It is the only large carnivore in the central Taihang Mountains. Once widely distributed, their populations are now highly fragmented and isolated in nature reserves and remote areas. The North China leopard faces threats from habitat loss, poaching, and traditional medicine use.”

The print is a Giclee print.

It is printed on acid free archival paper using archival ink.
