SLC Zoo beautiful big kitty. Snow leopard.

When danger approaches,

My spots help me hide.

When it comes to the forest,

I’ll be your guide.

I’m an agile arboreal,

Climbing to the sky,

Strong branches are my favorite,

Upon them I will lie.

My muscles tighten and I’m tense,

As I wait for prey.

I pounce and then my dinners served,

I’m done hunting for the day.

Like a light in the darkness,

Like a flag in a battle,

Like a map on a journey,

Like an oar or a paddle.

If I just kept my eyes,

On my mother’s white tail,

I could spot her easily,

With no need to wail.

Now I dash through the forest,

I know my own way.

She taught me to thrive,

And I’m still here today.

Having raided a bird's nest he dropped one egg and has gone to eat the residue

Leopards are some of the most deadly and majestic animals in the Bush. I could watch her for hours. Even the most mundane tasks seems elegant.

The Pamirs, known as the ‘Roof of the World’, are one of the key mountain ranges of Central Asia and are home to Tajikistan’s globally significant snow leopard population.

FFI is working to bring together local communities, hunting agencies, the state conservation sector and the military on the Tajik side of the Pamir mountain range in a programme to help conserve the regions’ biodiversity.

The project aims to secure vital snow leopard habitat and offer further hope to all the species found in the breathtaking Pamir landscape, including Marco-Polo sheep and the Barheaded (Indian) Goose.

What an amazing moment it was when came upon this young male leopard, obviously sated from a fresh kill. In the early morning dawn he just sat near the side of the road and looked at us for about 20 minutes while we clicked away! Then, imagine our suprise as we got a bonus as another young male come up and joined him before walking off and having a bit of a play tussle! The memory is ingrained in my brain! It was soooo COOL!
