Camera Critters: Ivy




This is Ivy, the black leopard living at the Houston Zoo.


Black Leopard


Ivy is a beautiful lady.
Like many older women, she has bad joints.
She recently had stem cell therapy to treat her joint disease.

    She is beautiful! How lucky she lives somewhere that can help with those bad joints.
