🔍🐆Science Saturday with Kallisto, our Amur Leopard! Amur leopards have long, bushy tails that are almost 3 feet long - like Orion. In these cold winter months, they use their tails to keep warm by wrapping them around themselves. Kallisto, on the other hand, does not have a tail as it was groomed off by mom as a baby. This is something that sometimes happens with leopards in the wild. Come visit Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo today and experience the purr-fect way to spend your weekend.❤️ #ScienceSaturday #OrionTheLeopard #KallistoTheLeopard #BeardsleyZoo #Conservation #WildlifeAwareness
