Okay, I will admit that there is no such species as a Ukrainian leopard, but Leeloo the leopard was born in a sketchy petting zoo in Ukraine. Her mother rejected her because she wouldn't eat, and she was getting weaker every day. Then Leonid and Valentina Stoyanov stepped in. They are married veterinarians who decided to stay in Ukraine when war broke out to take care of the animals.
This video doesn't go into what was exactly wrong with the cub, but the Vet Crew said it was "a long list of serious health problems." Leeloo underwent two operations and intense therapy before she regained her health. That was three years ago, and now Leeloo is the queen of their sanctuary.
