Of course they have to get their dig in against hunting saying this is due to inbreeding caused by shrinking numbers of leopards due to hunting of big males.

Dumb SOB's. The level of bias and lack of objectivity in media today is astounding.

It's unusual but I think that standard leopard is prettier.

There is a great picture of an albino giraffe in Tony Seth-Smith’s book. Let’s just blame hunting for that too...

For those of you who may at sometime pass through the small town Ohrigstad between Lydenburg and Hoedspruit there is a furniture store on the left hand in a small shopping complex where there is a mounted erythristic leopard in the store. If memory serves correctly it was run over on the road in the district.

Blonde hair and blue eyes also caused by hunting? The casino of genetics can cause interesting phenomena.

“Caused by hunting of large males...”. Never mind that there has been very little hunting of leopards in South Africa for some time, and none the last few years. Sheesh!

I think that color phase is really cool. In a jack o'conner writing he stated that elgin gates shot a very large leopard that topped the record book at that time and it was what he called a pale buff like this cat pictured. I believe that was in the mountains of Chad. Some of the big jaguar taken in arizona back in the day were also of that color. I once saw a mounted female in that well known taxidermist shop in Ingram, Texas that was of that color but she was extremely small, like she might have been a cub.
