Amur Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis euptilura) at Galloway Wildlife

This unusual small cat is one of only two representatives of the Amur subspecies of Leopard Cat in the UK - the other being at Thrigby Hall in Norfolk. It differs greatly in behaviour and appearance to other Leopard Cats, leading some to propose it deserves species level status. As GWCP holds the nominate subspecies as well as the Amur, this allowed me to see these differences at first hand.
