SNOW LEOPARD dad is AWESOME! - The Big Cat Sanctuary

❄️ On Father's Day this year we want to celebrate with Yarko. Our Snow leopard became a dad in 2019 and was amazing from the start.
😻 Yarko is dad to Koshi and Khumbu and he took parenthood in his stride. His loving nature came through, often showering the family with affection when they were in their dens!
👇 What do you make of our Snow leopard dad? Let us know in the comments below.

[@PenguinDT]

I love Yarko's 'lazy' pose, observing his kingdom using his huge paws as a pillow.

[@Ofinfinitejest]

The most beautiful animal planet Earth has ever produced. Do everything you can to help preserve them for the future.

[@Covet-to2wc]

Indeed, Snow Leopards the most beautiful of the leopards.

[@iz6566]

In Russian, his name is kind of a very-very old male name (from maybe before 1000AD meaning ‘a bright/shining one’

[@mariethiers6915]

Thanks a lot for telling us about the name! 🙂🌹☘

[@marduk6836]

In Russian this word exists today and it just means bright.

[@Thundernymph]

He is so handsome. Love that big kitty daddy face

[@siobhannoble8545]

Damn, those eyes. I feel like he's staring into my soul.

[@Prruuhh]

Cats are very social creatures. This even applies to wild cats.

[@amandadesilva4452]

Lucky Yarko. He can take a rest now that his 2 boys have left home. The dad in our household has got up at 4am this morning to pick up our eldest daughter from uni to bring her home... Hiring a van to pack all her stuff!😜

[@virginiatyree6705]

Exciting! She's learning how to fly the coop. Good job. v

[@Psy1402]

I had the privilege of meeting Yarko and Laila in 2019! Such lovely animals.

Love this beautiful Soul. With love may I say that HE was relaxing and calming, but the music was not. Love your channel.

[@janeceeastwood8035]

These majestic cats are beyond gorgeous. Thank you for the chance to see them.

[@nicoleloves9483]

Whoever is naming them have great taste

[@jjforcebreaker]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@dmitrystarostin2814]

Yarko has a good attitude to everything, he not just lives, but is alert to everything around him. In some sense, animals bring with them the atmosphere of the environment they come from. Would he recognize a person from Russia? I think so. All the best to him.

[@Magick1magic]

I'm I the only one who wants to wrestle them? (in a playful way ofc.)

Beautiful. Love Jaguar too. Neron os beautiful 😍

[@kati8359]

Truly what a gorgeously magnificent animal

Most dads are awesome! Underappreciated heroes. Built society and everything else!

[@cfcheadhunter]

You can see why the ancient Egyptians worshipped cats. The best animals on the planet bar none.

[@jericholacey7206]

I hope in the wild there are more snow leopards in the wild.

[@IrenESorius]

[@rohinijain6792]

I wanna squishy them 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@markflores40]

Que gatão mais lindo! Esses leopardos são muito fofos.

[@somegirl558]

I saw mum and baby in the previous recommendations... Here's dad..... Am I to collect a whole snow cat population or..?

[@ducestat06savage99]

That's nice

[@suzanakatam1278]

🙏🤗💞😘💖

[@SandraNelson063]

The Mongolian Metal band The Hu uses a Snow Leopard as their crest. You might consider letting them know about Yarko.

[@virginiatyree6705]

Will Yarko ever go back to Moscow? That would be terrible. Thanks for the fun post. v

[@Trainspotters-i4l]

I saw khumbu today at twycross

[@rosariogallardomassieu7474hh]

Preciosos la vida salvaje, lastima que estén en cautiverio para preservar sus vidas, cuiden lo y enseñen a sus hijos y futuras generaciones amar a la naturaleza para que no se extingan cariños

ALL THEY NEED IS SOME SNOW..................................

[@thebelissima64]

[@cryslovesmusic]

I am confused.I thought you were not breeding any of the big cats living there.I wish the beautiful cats the best.When did you start breeding?

[@SonsOfLorgar]

Sounds like it is a special case to save the highly endangered Snow leopard as a species.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

All I have to do is look into the face of a snow leopard to know that God exists

[@user-wh6hl4gv4j]

😳

[@ducestat06savage99]

Before you all go typing why are they breeding them they have to and they do this on their own this is a sanctuary not a rescue center (not to mention their endangered)

[@ducestat06savage99]

And we also learn a thing called a food chain and if one is gone the whole thing starts falling apart

[@ducestat06savage99]

@SalviaGreen yah bud well extinction takes longer than you're thinking because it doesn't just happen in the the span of a year

[@ducestat06savage99]

@SalviaGreen and most of them went extinct because of us

[@ducestat06savage99]

@SalviaGreen they can't do that if we poach them to death and destroy habitats

[@ducestat06savage99]

@SalviaGreen i said a year as an example obviously 🙄

[@lincolnoliveira3041]

U t a h

[@allen6924]

He would have loved being in his native habitat. I can never go to Zoo because they make me sad for the animals.

[@jerina3105]

This is not a zoo, it is a conservation centre aiming to breed endangered big cat species and release to the wild when possible.
