Tang, the snow leopard at Stone Zoo in Stoneham, Massachusetts. She is an older cat and spends most of her time up on her rocks.
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.
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.

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!
