Meet Kiska - Marwell Zoo's cute new Amur leopard cub.
The name for the cub was picked after the zoo received 10,000 votes in an online poll.
Pronounced Keys-ka', it's a Russian girl's name meaning pure. The name was extremely popular and received a whopping 45 per cent of the votes.
The cub is four months old and everyday her confidence grows as she explores her new home. She is already practising her hunting skills and loves to bite her mum's tail.
Her birth is vital for the future of her species as there are only 35 Amur leopards in the wild.
Marwell is offering a special Kiska adoption package. It contains a certificate with a picture of an Amur leopard, a fact sheet all about Amurs, an admission ticket to the zoo and a copy of Marwell's newsletter Marwell News. The adopter's name will also feature on the Park's adoptions Thank You' board.
