This looks to be a very good exhibit. I love the vertical wire when viewing cat species. How many leopards does the zoo have?
 
The zoo keeps two Amur leopards, XEMBALO (8) born at Helsinki Zoo and VATNE (8) born at Berlin Tierpark.
 
The excellent exhibit from Leipzig has a very similar appearance to the cougar enclosure at Oregon Zoo:

In the United States perhaps the two best leopard exhibits are to be found at Utah's Hogle Zoo (Asian Highlands) and Minnesota Zoo (Russia's Grizzly Coast).
 
I am surprised that several people call it the best leopard exhibit they have seen, solely based on photos.

I was quite unimpressed by seeing it in real live last month. This picture makes it appear much larger than it actually is and the amount of climbing opportunities is actually really low for a leopard...
