We get our name from the spots on our torso, which are darker then the rest of the body and their black outlines. I also have really long canine teeth. I way about 38kg but it can vary from 20-50kg

Tuesday 12th July

Today we went hunting for our dinner tonight and only 11 of the 12 came back to the camp. Its starting to scare us all, we dont know who is going to be next and we NEED to go out to get our food to survive anyway. Humans just think we are nothing, they just come and reuin the land, the land they we have lived on for years. Cutting down all the trees and making space for THEM! They only kill you and use your fur for there own good, it makes me so angry knowing that we are treated so bad when we all have a good purpose in this world. They also think they treat us good in zoos, they take us away from our homes and our friends and families. We are inclosed in a small space and only get food that they choose for us. Thank you humans. NOT ):

Thursday 14th July

After last blog I was thinking about ways that they could stop us from being endangered. There should be really bad punishment for the people that try and kill any animal! They should stop taking our land, especially rainforests that cannot be fixed. There is so much farm land around the world, rainforests should be cherished. Humans are so up to date with everything know a day, they dont need our fur for clothing or mats. They could just use synthetic fur and this is the same with any other animal that is being killed for a part of its body. Humans use the saying what goes around comes around, so they better not turn their back on us the day we decide that its way too much. S:

Friday 15th July

I guess when i think about some major achievements so far it is the zoos they have put up to keep out species alive. They have looked after us, given us food, warmth and somewhere to stay. Humans took us out of being endangered with their help. They have been breeding us to keep us from not being endangered any longer.
