Taronga Zoo Mar 07 - Snow Leopard again
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2007 10:41 amWell, yesterday was Mrs Losfp's birthday so we went to the zoo (quick tip, the zoo lets you in for 90c if it's your birthday!!! I believe this offer is for the zoo's 90th birthday, and lasts until about July)
We went a few weeks ago, and were treated to an amazingly active display by the Snow Leopards. Well, I'm happy to report that this time (first thing in the morning at 9am), they were even MORE active. The two cubs were having a good old time playing with each other. And by playing, I mean jumping on top of each other from a great height and biting! Excellent value, and I could have watched them all day.
Unfortunately due to the lighting conditions, most of my shots of the "action" were way too blurry to post.. However, I got a couple more nice shots of them when they were sitting still.

First time I saw them, I think the cubs were still pretty young, and you didn't see much more than a twitching tail at the top of the enclosure, if you were lucky.
