I took so many shots on my Big Cat togging day that some I never even processed. Having a look at some shots which may be worth saving. This is a beautiful snow leopard.
SNOW LEOPARD (uncia uncia) | Schneeleopard | Léopard des neiges | Leopardo delle nevi
Snow leopards live between 3,000 and 5,500 metres (9,800 and 18,000 ft) above sea level in the rocky mountain ranges of Central Asia. It has been estimated that between 3,500 and 7,000 snow leopards exist in the wild and between 600 and 700 in zoos worldwide.
The Snow Leopard is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN red list!
It was good to visit the St. Louis Zoo again. Probably one of the best zoos I've visited and it's free!
I remember this Amur leopard when she was still small. She's grown quiet a bit since the last time I saw her.
Once again, it took a bit of work to shoot her without the cage net showing up in the photo. I really wish that I had a faster lens with me at the time.
The Amur leopard is considered to be one of the most critically endangered big cats in the world, with roughly 30-40 individuals remaining in the wild. Habitat loss and hunting (for trophies and use in traditional medicines) are the biggest threats to Amur leopards in the wild.
The Amur leopard has been a protected species in Russia since 1956, but poaching is still a problem. Conservation efforts in the wild for these animals include anti-poaching patrols, customs control, fighting forest fires, environmental education programmes and working closely with local communities.
