Fun fact: Snow leopards were initially thought to be critically endangered, but nowadays it is believed their numbers to be much higher. The combination of being almost invisible in their environment, and said environment being so inhospitable to humans made so we had a much lower number of individuals counted in the past.

I’m not a cat person, but the snow leopard is my favorite animal. Last time I went to the zoo, I asked my girlfriend at the time if we could see the snow leopards after her favorite animal, the giraffe. When we did, she was very surprised at how geeked I got. I got more hyped than she did with the giraffes. I don’t know why I like these animals so much, I just do.

I live in a city that regularly reaches temperatures over 115° F during the summer, and our zoo has a snow leopard. She is one of 3 big cat species at the zoo, and you’re by far the most likely to see her. She is always heat stressed and spends a lot of time near her water feature, but she remains alive. It is impressive how these cats can survive in the harshest conditions. I’m sure her inside area is air conditioned but she spends most of her time outside, in view of guests. Her huge teeth are quite the site.
