These two were petting a "tame" leopard at the Kinshasa Zoo, Zaire (now the Democratic Rebublic of the Congo). They did not realize it, and the Congolese were too polite to tell them, but the zoo staff and public were aghast at the spectacle. For them, the lesson for the crowd was that zoo animals could be petted. The leopard had been hand reared by expatriates, so it was approachable, but certainly not worth risking a finger or hand.
