EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1960s at Coventry Zoo's Whitley Park. Meet Zak, a two-week-old leopard who was lovingly named after Ringo Starr's baby. This adorable feline is about to be weighed on kitchen scales inside the cozy caravan of Jill Banks, the dedicated director of Whitley Zoo Parks. The image captures a tender moment between human and animal as Zak calmly sits on the scales, his mesmerizing eyes gazing curiously at Jill. The contrast between his tiny size and powerful presence is truly awe-inspiring. It serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity found within our natural world. Zak's weigh-in symbolizes not only scientific curiosity but also highlights the bond formed between caretakers and their charges in captivity. The dedication shown by zookeepers like Jill ensures that these magnificent creatures receive proper care and attention. This photograph transports us to an era when zoos were popular attractions for families seeking entertainment while fostering appreciation for wildlife conservation efforts. It reminds us how far we have come in our understanding of animal welfare since then. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let it serve as a testament to our ongoing commitment to protect endangered species like leopards from habitat loss and other threats they face today.
