Leopard at the Yorkshire wildlife park in Doncaster

Nthombi, looking very regal. All three leopards were in the tree together feeding on the impala this mother killed the night before. A Spotted Hyena was hanging around at the foot of the tree, waiting for scraps.

Leopard sitting in tree, she looked so glum and fed up.

Lucky snap of a snow leopard at the Melbourne Zoo. The first time I walked past it was laying down in the back corner of the enclosure.

Before leaving I thought I'd walk past again just in case it was more active and sure enough it was actually quite playful, jumping up on a tree as seen here.

I finally got to see the snow leopards at Twycross Zoo, an animal I've wanted to see my whole life, more than any other. A terrible shame about the wire I know but making eye contact with possibly the most awesome animal on earth was quite emotional, to say the least ! Actually I'm beggining to prefer zoo pictures that actually look like they were taken in a zoo. The same with ' my ' foxes and badgers, trying to show them in the urban environment they actually live in.

I'll never forget as long as I live seeing the footage of snow leopards on the BBC's Planet Earth series for the first time, especially the incredible chase sequence, here it is on youtube ( the music is so beautiful too )......

Makes me a bit watery eyed but then most wildlife documentaries do these days, just about every animal they film comes with horror stories of our persecution.

AND another thing....why do we see more of the presenters than the animals these days ?!?!? Less people, more animals PLEASE !!!
