This Leopard was just giving out a warning to 'stay clear' so understandably a 'please' was not needed
what a beautiful animal
One of the two beautiful Snow Leopards at the Calgary Zoo, taken on September 30th.
"Snow leopards live between 3,000 and 5,500 metres (9,800 and 18,000 ft) above sea level in the rocky mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. Their secretive nature means that their exact numbers are unknown, but it has been estimated that between 3,500 and 7,000 snow leopards exist in the wild and between 600 and 700 in zoos worldwide."

It's quarter to 1:00 in the morning and I have to be up at 5:20 a.m. (better than the 4:10 a.m. this morning!) to do the Calgary Christmas Bird Count, so I thought I'd post my photos very early, before I fall into bed. The small group I'm part of tomorrow (4 of us?) will be searching part of the NE of the city to see what birds we can find and how many of each. Today, I took part in the Canmore (near Banff in the Rocky Mountains) Christmas Bird Count. Four of us walked all the streets and alleys in the Harvey Heights area. A beautiful winter's day - yet very few of my photos turned out, ha!
Have any of you seen these cute little Pixar videos (I got the links from YouTube)? I posted the links last December and happened to just come across them again a few minutes ago..

Large is so cool!
This Leopard was given to the Africat Foundation as a cub after his mother was killed by a farmer. As he was so young he had to be hand reared which led to him being too comfortable around humans. After an unsuccesful attempt to release him into the wild (he was found sleeping on a settee in Africats reception) he was built a large enclosure at Africat where members of the public can watch his daily feed from a hide.

Beautiful Wahoo lived in a house for two years, then realised he was a male Leopard. They tried to release him to the wild but he didn't do so well. Now he lives in a huge (over 100 acre) enclosure and is gainfully employed as an education leopard for Namibian school children and foreign visitors to see and learn about. Africat, Okonjima, Namibia

The Leopard
The leopard (Panthera pardus) is a member of the Felidae family with a wide range in some parts of Africa and tropical Asia, from Siberia, South and West Asia to across most of sub-Saharan Africa. It is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List because it is declining in large parts of its range due to habitat loss and fragmentation, and hunting for trade and pest control. It is regionally extinct in Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuwait, Syrian Arab Republic, Libya and Tunisia.
