Distribuzione e status

Il Leopardo delle nevi si trova dall'Afghnistan al lago Baikal e in Tibet orientale nelle regioni montuose e rocciose fino anche a 6000 m di altitudine. Cacciato per i danni causati al bestiame, per la bellezza della sua pelliccia e come trofeo, il Leopardo delle nevi ha subito un pesante declino. La specie è inclusa nell'Appendice I della CITES ed è classificata come in pericolo (EN) dall'IUCN. Il Leopardo delle nevi si può considerare il re dei ghiacci: è una delle specie di felino che vivono nelle zone più fredde della terra. Pelo lungo e folto, manto con colorazione e disegni mimetici, spesso strato di grasso sottocutaneo, zampe corte, udito finissimo, vista acuta sono gli adattamenti morfologici selezionati per sopravvivere in questo ambiente estremo. Il Parco Natura Viva, insieme ad altre 76 istituzioni, partecipa all'EEP della specie, che coordina una popolazione di 229 esemplari di Leopardo delle nevi.

It's been 4 weeks since I photographed Brookfield Zoo's Snow Leopard cub, Everest. He has grown quite a bit, and boy does he like to play! He keeps his mom, Sarani, very busy! It is so fun to watch them interact with one another.

Earlier in 2010 I was lucky enough to be able to go on a safari based at Arathusa Safari Lodge in South African. This lodge lies within the Sabi Sand Private Reserve, flanking the unfenced Kruger National Park.

We were treated to an exceptional wildlife experience, lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo, and much more all amazingly close to us as we travelled though the bush in an open top jeep.

This Amur Leopard is in love. He wants to court his potential mate in the enclosure next door. Unfortunately, last time they were introduced, he gave her a large love bite round the neck. Understandably, she's a little reluctant to re-engage. With only 35 of these great cats left in the wild, let's hope this couple can get it on.
