This is a link post Snow Leopard cubs :) I made this!
Me, god save the queen, and a mate went to the cat survival trust yesterday to see some fluffy snow leopard cubs. Needless to say I took a thousand pictures and am still reeling from the experience. I attempted to put together some of the pictures using youtube. They really were adorable :)

This is a normal post Not entirely sure off the top of my head, i'ld have to check at work
what's bonkers though is the cat survival trust have a pair of Amur Leopards, of which there are only about forty left in the wild. Seeing them was sobering

Edit: as few as 3,500 snow leopards left in the wild,according to the IUCN Red List of critically endangered species shared by animals such as the giant panda and tiger

This is a normal post They are so gorgeous.
You lucky buggers. Snow leopards are by far my favourite animals in the world.

At 41 seconds was one trying to get into your camera bag? I'm sure no-one would have noticed if you just zipped it up and took it home..... :)

This is a normal post My favourite too
I worked in the primate house of a zoo a while ago, and used to get away from the monkeys and eat my lunch with the snow leopards.

This is a normal post Wonderful
I may have to come up with a reason to visit them for the show - they're in our catchment area too, so I'm sure they would appreciate the exposure.
