I don't think the black cat was a jaguar, I think it was a leopard

Depending on origin, it could be a leopard, cougar or jaguar but I think when it's black it's called a panther regardless.

Unfortunately, the Zoo does not provide a list of names of animals they have.

I don't mind renaming the frames, if you are sure about the panther thing.

It's a colloquialism, not a scientifically correct name. As Rimma said it's an umbrella term that describes any of the three species.

They're all kittens to me :)

You know what -- I'll just put "Kitten I and II" in there. See if I get any funny looks :)

Just call it a Panthera, would take care of any possibility :)

Fantastic pictures, btw.

Too bad the bars of his cage are visible. I couldn't find a way to Photoshop them out without fucking up the image. I guess I have a few things to learn...
