Milena, the female Leopard at Colchester Zoo, will be gradually introduced to their male Leopard over the quieter winter months.
UPDATE
In the event, Milena and male she had been paired with never hit it off and they were rehomed elsewhere.
Esra and Crispin, who succeded them, produced a pair of cubs who themselves are close enough to adulthood to be moved on to new homes.
Here is a link to my album of the Leopard Cubs born in September 2020
Right after I captured this image, another vehicle pulled up behind the leopard and ruined the background.

I have several very good snow leopard shots - but this is my favorite because of the eye contact.
The snow leopard is native Central and South Asia. They tend towards solitary lives and, although small in population, have a large habitat range. The can be found in the following countries:Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
Current population estimates put their numbers at apprx 4000-6500. IUCN has placed the snow leopard on the red list of endangered animal species. The snow leopard is not however, the rarest cat. That title goes to the far eastern leopard. Only 30 far eastern leopards are thought to survive in the wild.

A 14-week-old unnamed female Amur Leopard looks on in her enclosure at Marwell Zoological Park in Winchester, England. Thursday, Feb. 28, 2008. A leopard cub newly born into one of the most endangered species in the world finally got its first breath of fresh air after spending three months in its mother's den at a British zoo. The cub was bred from two Amur leopards, Ashca and Akin, as part of a European conservation program. Though there are around 200 Amur in captivity, a Wildlife Conservation Society census last April revealed there are less than 35 living in the wild.

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.
