Horned Five-Tailed Leopard Beast

Create a museum-quality wildlife photograph of a mythical creature from ancient Chinese bestiary lore: creature description. The scene is a realistic high-altitude rocky mountain slope covered with dark gray fractured stone and scattered translucent blue-green crystal boulders. Place exactly one creature standing on a foreground ledge, facing slightly left toward the camera, body like a muscular spotted leopard with warm russet-brown fur, black rosettes, pale underbelly, powerful paws, and a single straight horn rising from the center of its forehead. Show exactly five long spotted tails fanning upward and backward behind it, each with a pale white tufted tip. The animal is snarling with its mouth open, teeth and tongue visible, ears alert, eyes intense, as if defending its territory. Use dramatic natural backlight from the upper left, cool misty mountain air, shallow atmospheric haze, rugged crystal-studded cliffs receding into the background, and highly detailed fur, stone, and mineral textures. Style it as a real photograph captured by a top National Geographic wildlife photographer using a telephoto lens, cinematic realism, crisp subject detail, natural color grading, no painterly effect, no illustration, no text, no humans, no watermark. Aspect ratio 4:3.
