During lockdown the snow leopards at Melbourne Zoo had three babies. Five years later, they've had four more.
The cubs were born in January, but they were off-display for some months for multiple reasons (the habitat for the snow leopards is oriented towards animals who like heights, and babies, even snow leopard babies, can fall. They finally came out about a week ago, but they aren't out long at a time.
Here is a shot I took of one of the cubs with mum. The cub had managed to get up to the height that mum had gone to. They are several metres above the ground.
Shot with the 400-800 at 626mm, f/8, 1/2000, ISO 6400 on the A1 II. This image is the full frame (scaled for this site).
