PhiladelphiaZoo Snow Leopards In Snow!

The snow accumulation was only a couple of inches. But it was enough to create beautiful scenes like this in the Philadelphia Zoo. In this video, the mother snow leopard and one of her cubs are resting high on a ledge in their exhibit. I was the only visitor in the viewing area, but the mother was keeping an eye on me as she always does when visitors are in the area.

@Samegoldays It seems that in a lot of places, the weather has been behaving in unexpected ways for the past couple of years!

There is very little snow here in Canada =/

@velocikiller13 Yes, it does. It is a very scenic exhibit, and the snow leopards, and the pumas, who are also sometimes on exhibit in this area of Big Cat Falls, seem to love climbing up on the rocky ledges.

Whoa! The enclosure looks a lot like a cliff side.
