They were there; those lovely cubs we chased with a fisheye last year, only almost now fully grown
and hence a bit to dangerous to greet as old mates. Quite touching, as the impromptu mode of transporting three princesses back to their mum, and their enclosure; dad and their siblings were lined up next to the wire making sure everything was ok. Not a snarl. Which is testament to Terry's care
They trust him completely
Whilst the guy isn't a 'Lion man;' and I doubt very much wants to be in the long run, given the long term aim is to release Snow Leopards back into their natural environment; I have observed the only danger he would have to be cautious of is his cats getting carried away with affection; and tearing him to shreds with their claws; without them realising. Some of them get really stroppy if he gets up to leave them; which curiously is quite touching to observe. I have a few scratches just from yesterday. But they are truly beautiful animals
