The most beautiful cat in the world 😻

[@tanfrederika2123]

These people who nurture this snow leopard must be brave to handle those..and snow leopard is so pretty..

[@planetwatch0000]

Absolutely beautiful. This wonderful species must be protected at all costs. Such a sad reflection on us as humans that we are wiping out our precious natural world. Big Cat Sanctuary are doing incredible work and deserving of all the support we can give.

Tricking Khumbu.

[@kati8359]

Pls give us a follow up on this clip. 🙏🏻

[@marymarseglia4536]

Really!! Why is this gorgeous snow leopard not out in the wild!?

[@kaushalissocial]

No one owes you an answer.

[@wordreet]

Because he’s part of a conservation program. Hopefully he will be able to make babies, which will eventually be added to the shrinking wild population.

[@luvcats120]

@@kaushalissocial Your comment triggered my curiosity…1) If you felt the poster was not owed an answer, why did you chose to respond, albeit with an unhelpful comment? 2) Regardless of the point you were trying to convey, there was a nicer way to say it. As written, one can reasonably assume your intent was to be rude and/or disrespectful. 3) Since I don’t know you, it is not my intent to bash or belittle you…I am simply sharing an opinion based on my interpretation of how your comment came across. You are under no obligation to respond, but can chose to do so as we all have the right to freedom of speech…regards.

[@kaushalissocial]

@@luvcats120 Thanks for the sincere and well thought out response & questions. 1. I did not answer her rather just responded. I don't see any conflict here. 2. The question itself is rude and clearly comes from a place of willing ignorance. (The work of the foundation and status of Snow Leopards are well out in the public). 3. I must thank your sincerity and empathy for the long consideration.

[@R.Lennartz]

I'm guessing that this leopard probably couldn't be released into the wild, since he's been in captivity for his entire life.

[@jenpayne-pin5622]

They need to be protected in the WILD not in Zoos where they will spend their lives in cages, never free.
