Do any of the signs say what happened with this leopard? Did it mummify in the wild and was brought to the museum? Interesting display if that's the case.
 
@PAT Yes, this leopard died and mummified in the wild. The mummy has been found by speleologists in 1984 in the cave in Turkmenistan and then was brought to the museum.
