The Bronx Zoo snow leopards (Panthera uncia) have typically been awake during my visits, but the female pictured above was acting like one of my domestic cats on catnip. Unfortunately I wasn't prepared for what she was going to do so she came out as a bit of a blur, but it was impressive to see a big cat jump around the enclosure with such agility and speed. The big paws and long tail of these cats help them keep their footing and balance, and as anyone who saw the snow leopard sequence on Planet Earth knows their skills are even more impressive in their natural, craggy habitat.
