Snow Leopard
Snow leopards, with their thick fur and elusive nature, are one of the most majestic big cats in zoos. These animals are given spacious, cool habitats with rocks and climbing structures to replicate their mountainous environment. Observing a snow leopard prowling silently or lounging atop a high perch is a highlight for many visitors. Zoos also educate the public on the threats faced by snow leopards, including habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict, and contribute to breeding programs aimed at boosting their dwindling populations.
