I found this picture in a Russian (I think) hunting magazine. Unfortunately, I cannot read Russian and cannot get the article to OCR for computer translation. Does anyone have any information on this Leopard?  Colin | ||

Wow, that's an interesting cat! I wonder how he lost his upper canines? He's an old Leopard for sure but by the look of his remaining teeth, he's not THAT old..maybe 8 or 9 years old. Hopefully someone will have some info.. | |||

I was able to do a little image manipulation and get OCR to work, cleaned it up and ran it through Google Translate. Here is all the facts from the article: Taken: 20 October 2015 Location: Zimbabwe (in an area where lights are legal for leopard) It is believed that it was a birth defect leading to a shortened upper jaw (think serious underbite in a human) and they don't think the upper canines ever grew. They estimate the cat to be about 9 years old, weighed 73kg and was thought to be in poor health. Very interesting that the cat was able to survive for nine years with this defect. | |||

Very interesting. Just a guess - Might have been a single cub. It may not have survived any competition if it had a sibling. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

Doc, as a kitten with this condition, would it have had a hard time nursing? | |||
