Kira the Snow Leopard

Some Info on Snow leopards: These endangered cats appear to be in dramatic decline because of such killings, and due to poaching driven by illegal trades in pelts and in body parts used for traditional Chinese medicine. Vanishing habitat and the decline of the cats' large mammal prey are also contributing factors.

This is Kira she's a two year old Snow leopard at Stone Zoo in Stoneham, MA I did an internship there for 3 months and got to work with her for a little bit the internship was for my senior year of high school and it was probably the most amazing thing ever.

this picture was taken on my phone before we let her out to her enclosure one morning she's a sweetheart and she always gets anxious when she knows she's about to be let out
