Alas, I cannot have an awesome leopard as a pet, but I can have a leopard's diminutive cousin in my house! Housecats at least retain the athleticism of their wild relatives, if not the size or spots. And they are pretty cute:

More zoo animals
Since I haven't been doing fieldwork lately, I'm getting my wildlife fix from the zoo--I realize that captive animals by definition are not wildlife, but they are still really awesome. Take this Chinese leopard, for example. How often have you gone to the zoo and all the animals are asleep? This guy was up close and personal, pacing (in his enclosure) just a few feet from me! I practically could have touched him, though I would have lost a few fingers in the process.
