Russian President Vladimir Putin has taken senior Olympics officials on a tour of a Persian leopard sanctuary ahead of the Winter Games in Sochi.
He tried to calm one leopard cub, which had become agitated and attacked two journalists, Russian media said.
The visit to Sochi National Park comes amid efforts to show the games are positive for the environment.
President Putin is well known for his encounters with wild animals which have helped burnish his outdoors image.
In the past, he has been shown on state TV tagging whales, saving a TV crew from a tiger and taking to the skies to fly with Siberian cranes.

wild kitty ping!
Putin photo ops >> Obama photo ops
I’m picturing Obama in a bee keeper’s suit to get near this cat....or Kerry in his infamous blue bunny suit.
I don’t like KGB,or commies.
But Putin is a known quantity. He will do what he thinks is best for Russia, and he enjoys the hell out of being Valdamir Putin.
beautiful animal, wonder what president obama would do with that kitty in his arms.
very astute observation.
Obama with the leopard:
“The kitty scratched me. Somebody hit it with an umbrella!”
*sigh* the man is a patriot.
I have yet to find a Russian willing to trade presidents...
“He tried to calm one leopard cub, which had become agitated and attacked two journalists, Russian media said.”
At that point he adopted the leopard cub to train it for future work on his behalf. :)
“He tried to calm one leopard cub, which had become agitated and attacked two journalists”
It looks like he can now add “cat whisperer” to his resume.
The guy with the cute helmet riding a girls bike is a loser. Putin does have quite an ego, but at least he lives like a male of the species. Am I mistaken or is obama sitting like a girl on the view. I once read some psychology on body language, the direction you cross your legs will tell who you perfer. All the white women are cross legs pointing at Obama...check out Whoppee’s legs..
So, the leopard cub attacked two journalists but became docile in Putin’s grip as though it sensed that biting the Russian leader would be the last thing it ever did.
One scary dude. Further proof that the vastness of Russia requires rule by a strong hand.

Obama is a “Metrosexual “strongman” “ that Hayek could never have foresaw...
Not very strong, but claims he can solve all the problems...
Putin is a “Classical Strongman” that Kayek was actually writing about...

If Obama had been ruling Russian, there would have been 57 independent states where Russia used to be...
