Drakkar and Akasha enjoy their new habitat.

For more pictures visit Leopard's Landing in our photo album here.
Drakkar and Akasha are brother and sister from the same litter... showing that genetically you can have both black coloration (Drakkar), and gold spotted (Akasha).

We received Drakkar and Akasha in the Spring of 1994 from the big city of Hollywood, California. Both cats were being groomed for the television industry. The real problem was that leopards can be difficult cats to train, and it requires handlers that are familiar with leopards to be successful.

Unfortunately, Drakkar and Akasha had a male handler who believed in using strong-arm tactics to make them behave. Luckily, Jonathan was notified about the abusive situation and was able to take in both cats.

Now both Drakkar and Akasha live happily at Keepers of the Wild. You can usually find them taking turns sitting on their swing, enjoying the afternoon sunshine!
