Captive Animals Shen, the most photogenic Snow Leopard I have encountered.

[Uncle Kevriano]

Taken at Banham Zoo, Norfolk, a zoo that is sadly in decline, though some good news today may see things change for the better, time will tell. Anyway, this young Snow Leopard (approaching 2) is seriously photogenic, such a beautiful boy.

Beautiful shots. Snow leopards are so fluffy!

Dublin Zoo had a pair last decade - don’t know if they still do.

Melbourne Zoo has a male and female, and they had cubs during Covid - the cubs were gorgeous growing up.
