What a beautiful leopard. Although I agree with Ron that it is dire that we keep these animals in zoos, I know that times have changed and they do a lot of important conservation work these days in protecting the bloodstock of endangered animals. If only they could be kept safely in their natural environment. (Did you know that there are more tigers kept as pets in the US than there are in the wild?)
I did know that, Ivor…and it makes me really sad! I hate seeing wild animals treated like pets, not good for the animal (let alone the owners when the animals do what comes naturally). Sad situation all around!
Of cause she does – She IS a SNOW Leopard, I love her beauty and abhor her lack of freedom
