Green relax of tired mommyby *woxys

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Wild Animals

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

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

she played with me and *Allerlei (video of me and *Allerlei playing with the baby is HERE: [link]), so Nima could relax a bit

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

Thank you for your comments and faves
____________

INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:

Name: snow leopard (Uncia uncia or Panthera uncia)
Location: Hight mountains of Central Asia (Hindukush, Himalaya...)
Size: 1.3 m long body, 1,3 m long tail weight: 54 kg
Diet: Siberian ibex, argali, wild goats and wild sheep, deer, boars, langur monkeys, marmots, similar small mammals and birds
Conservation status: Endangered (there are 4000 – 6600 snow leopards)
Interesting facts: snow leopards are considered to be big cats, althought they are quite small than other big cats | snow leopards are not able to roar | other name for snow leopard is ,,irbis“ | snow leopards use their long and very fluffy tail as a scarf to hide their neck and head in cold weather. Fluffy tail is also good for balance | they have small ears to eliminate loss of body heat | snow leopards have blue or yellow eyes.

Beautiful photo. Could I use your work for my graphics (presentations to a variety of browser games, avatars, headers for blogs)? Always on graphics your nickname would be located. Please reply to a private message.

Thanks in advance.
Ps. For all kinds of spelling mistakes sorry, but I can not yet speak English well, so I use the Google translator.

Another interesting fact about snow leopards is, they actually are not truly leopards but actually are closely related to tigers. ^^

*woxys Feb 20, 2012

I have heard about it, thanks

*JamJams Feb 20, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Heehee, I figured, but I still find it interesting. ^^
