Very cool old photos/postcards.

The one from the French Congo with the skinned leopard makes him look like a big ole skinned squirrel.

The leopard from Algeria is interesting. Does anyone know the status of the leopard populations north of the Sahara?

Caracal,
I'd question that map! It puts the whole of southern Africa as "former range" or "highly fragmented." If that's true there must be one under every bush in the dark green sections!!!!
