We recently welcomed a one-of-a-kind animal, which is a first for us at Houston Zoo. Lisa is an Amur leopard, which is one of the rarest big cats in the world. She weighs about 100 pounds and is very trainer-focused, so she can help participate in her own medical care as she gets older. Hear more about her from Carnivore Keeper Emilie.
