RARE ADULT BLUE EYED LEOPARD
WITH VID & PIX
By Saloni Mathur
Check out this extremely rare adult leopard with mesmerising blue eyes.
Remi Vacher, a sales engineer manager and a passionate photographer, spotted this rare leopard lounging about in the jungles of Jawai, Central India.
Blue eyes in adult leopards are extremely rare as most cubs' eye colours change as they get older.
They may have blue eyes as cubs, but this is usually temporary.
As they grow, their eyes change to a golden or amber hue.
Remi Vacher, from Dubai, said: “The blue eye colour in adult leopards is a result of a recessive genetic mutation that reduces melanin production in the iris.
“I spotted this dominant male leopard with blue eyes resting very early in the morning.”
