Description

Nima, female snow leopard (uncia uncia, levhart snezny, irbis) from ZOO Usti nad Labem, Czech republic :heart:


Story of the photo: No, she is not bored, she was probably happy, that she got few minutes to relax! She had a baby (you can see her baby daughter here: [link]) in other part of the enclosure. The kitty, whose name is Nanga was tiny that time, but she was too active :giggle: she played with me and *Allerlei (video of me and *Allerlei playing with the baby is HERE: [link]), so Nima could relax a bit :D

By the way, Nima's daughter Nanga grew into wonderful young lady and I offer SLR photo of her as a print! :aww:





Thank you for your comments and faves :hug:
