LEOPARDESS AND YOUNG. Here is shown a Leopardess in repose, enjoying the playful sport of her young ones, yet keeping watch 



for anything that may endanger them, and at the same time for any luckless animal that may serve tor a convenient meal. The spots on the fur 

 are the main distinguishing feature of this animal, extending as they do from the round head and short neck to the tip of the long tail. The 

 youngsters are having a good time, a characteristic of all Kitteng whether they belong to Pussy or a stately Leopardess. (Felts tardus.)
