A black leopard of Thungyai-Naresuan sanctuary went from a fact of nature to a planned throw rug in eight shots. Other than that, I'd like to imagine that one day when I have children I would want them to see a real black leopard or leopards, not from a book. Grey wolves used to roam in the park's Lamar Valley until they became extinct 70 years ago from excessive hunting. Without the grey wolves, which controlled the elk population, the landscape changed dramatically as the latter fed on grass and trees to the point of desertification. The sanctuary where the black leopard was poached was created with a purpose.
