SHYNGHYZ, the world's oldest known Snow Leopard recently achieved the milestone of 24 years old. He resides at Tama Zoological Park in Western Tokyo, and has fathered nine cubs. Let's hope he's still got some more years left in him, dear old boy :0)

Beautiful creature!! These leopards are endangered due to the region they're from. They are declining because of loss of their habitat, hunting, as well as the wars that have been ongoing for years within their homeland.
This guy lives at a animal sanctuary and is unable to go back to the bush. It was difficult to take this photograph as he was behind fencing.
Since posting this photograph, I have heard that this lovely animal had to be put to sleep. He decided to annoy the lions in their enclosure by pawing at the fencing. One of the lions swiped at him through the fence caught the leopards paw and ripped his front leg off. The sanctuary owner found him the following morning in agony and had no option but to put him to sleep.
Thanks for the comments they are much appreciated but please do not favourite without leaving a comment. Thank you
