The recent birth of an Amur leopard cub at the Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen, Germany, is all the reason we need to celebrate on a Monday morning.  Amur leopards are critically endangered; it’s believed that there are fewer than 40 of them left in the wild (they’re native to eastern Russia), with an additional few hundred in zoos.

The cub, an as-yet-unnamed female who’s now a month old, recently made her first public appearance at the zoo.
