These young will have no effective attack.

Snow Leopard
DL3 notes a Snow Leopard on the screen. It is statistically identical, and the THACO is noted as 16.
If one is playing with Weather, then the Snow Leopard will have natural resistance, of some kind, to cold temperatures (but not necessarily resistance to the 'liquid nitrogen' temperatures of some Cold spells).

Panthera pardus adersi
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanzibar_Leopard

theory:
Panthera pardus indigenous
where indigenous = a word in the local language
so,
if
    they name this animal a felix,
then
    Panthera pardus felix

in theory, extend this to all Latin taxonomy

.

either that, or:
Panthera sekhmeta immortalis

goddess, of retribution

[well, hope not: ressurection(DNA)]
