S e c r e t s:
The beautiful dark-brown coat of the clouded leopard, spangled with spots, stripes and blotches, makes this big cat a target for hunters. It’s much safer to be in a zoo – but also very boring lying on a fiberglass rock. This leopard still clutches his ticket to the zoo, although he may be somewhat disenchanted with the visit. The bird skull on the rock shows the leopard’s preferred prey. Peter’s mouse peeks out of a crevice. The interior of the Version One shows two birds. Inside the Version Infinity is a leopard in the trees, dreaming.
