No snow yet but we're happy to announce the addition of two young snow leopards—just in time for the holiday season. Guests visiting the zoo during the day or evening during its annual Holiday Magic celebration can view the cats in their outdoor habitat at The Fragile Kingdom. In mid-October, the female and male juveniles arrived at Brookfield Zoo from different zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Sarani, a 1-year-old female, is from Tautphaus Park Zoo in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Her new mate, Sabu, is a 1½-year-old from Cape May County Park Zoo in New Jersey. Following a 30-day routine quarantine at the zoo's Animal Hospital, the medium-size cats were introduced to their new home at Brookfield Zoo...more at http://www.czs.org/snowleopards2011

  • way way way too adorable........

  • I just noticed how Asian the snow leopards can look O_O

  • thats a nice cat

  • Gorgeous youngsters, lovely big paws :)

  • Is Biscuit, the old male leopard, still at the zoo?

  • Stunning - I am speechless

  • 1:04  :P

  • @MeiLover101 Sabu, the male, is the leopard playing with and rolling on the eucalyptus. At the very start of the video, Sabu walks behind Sarani. At 1:09, Sarani is sitting, while Sabu walks under her chin. At 1:39, Sabu is on the left, Sarani on the right. Once you see them in person, you'll notice that it's very easy to tell them apart just by looking at their faces, as Sabu's eyes seem to be wider. And from the rear, Sabu has bigger spots on his tail. Hope that helps!

  • How beautiful they are!
