Mustafaa Contributing Writer The entire country is still reeling behind the massacre of 49 persons who were attending the Pluse Club in Or- lando, Fla. in the early hours of June 12.

Some are still critical and hospitalized. Original reports of 50 killed was inclusive of the murderer, Omar Mateen, who committed the nation’s worst terrorist attack since 9/11 using gun- fire.

    NEWS 2918 West Capitol Street Jackson, MS 39209 Date: August 30, 2007 Contact: Christopher Mims, Director of Marketing and Public Relations 601-352-2599 Rare Amur Leopard Birth at Jackson Zoo The Jackson Zoo is pleased to announce the birth of a female Amur Leopard, Judda, who turned six weeks old Wednesday. The Jackson Zoo has been home to two Amur Leopards, Nikolai (male) and Katya (female), since 2004. This was Katya’s first pregnancy, and of the two offspring born, only one survived. The surviving cub has had to be hand-fed by Zoo staffers since birth and is not currently on display. “Sometimes new mommies can be a little rough with newborns, and we felt that Judda needed to be observed very closely,” said Vet. Tech Donna Todd. Amur leopards are very distinct from other leopards. Their long legs and long hair allow them to survive in cold, snowy climates. Their spots are widely spaced rosettes with thick borders. The color of their fur changes from lighter in the winter to a more reddish-yellow in the summer. The average adult male weighs between 82-198 pounds and the average female weighs between 62-132 pounds. Photo: Judda practices her ferocious snarl. Amur Leopards are critically endangered with field survey data estimates indicating that there are fewer than 50 leopards left in the wild, making the Amur leopard one of the world’s most endangered cats. The latest results estimated there were 25-40 Amur leopards in the Russian Far East and 4-7 in northeast China (Jilin Province).
