Ponti and Vedra are two Philippine Visayan leopards that are commonly thriving in the Negros and Panay islands. They're found and rescued while they were babies by doctors who don't want to be identified.
These leopards are endangered animals. Now that they've grown up, they would be taken back to their natural habitat in Mariit Conservation Center, Jayubo, Lambunao, Panay, Philippines.

@kepweng Well the cats live in one of the islands down south. Here in my place I do not think that there are still cats like that. I think their existence does have a part in the ecology and removing them might have serious effect on the environment.

They're endangered. They need to be protected, takrn care of and let them reproduce.

You're right. That's the only way for them to live freely and be preserved.
