The Oklahoma City Zoo is keeping two snow leopard cubs in hiding for the time being but they posted pictures of them in today's paper. They are 3 months old and need this time out of the limelight with their mother. They are both males and weigh approximately l5 pounds.
I have yet to see more adorable kittens but I suppose they should be called cubs. There were pictures of them lolling in the vets arms. It made a cat lover like me just want to cuddle them. The article stated that they were safe to handle now but in a few months their play would be too much for a person as their play is very rough and their teeth
already razor sharp.
There are only about 3,500 to 7,000 left in Central Asia in
the wild. We won't get to keep ours. They will be sent to
other zoos who need them. They are able to adapt to our warmer climate. We plan to go and see them before they are sent away.
