A snow leopard cub born at the Bronx Zoo has made its public debut in October. The cub is the second generation offspring of Leo, the snow leopard which became famous when he was rescued as a young orphaned cub after being found in the high mountains of northern Pakistan in 2005. The young female was born this summer to mother, K2, and father, Naltar, who was sired by Leo in 2013.
New York's Bronx Zoo has revealed a selection of its cutest new arrivals in 2017.
Ranging from a rare gelada, the only one bred in a US zoo, to an incredibly rare bison from the Yellowstone National Park bloodline, the zoo's conservation programme has welcomed dozens of new visitors.

There are some critters that convince me that God is not only ingenious, but has a sort of surreptitious sense of humor; Penguins are one :-)
Great pictures.
thank you

The very best of next year to you, too. Loved the little video. Lala was adorable!
I’ll bet the mother was mowing without steel toe boots. Never pull the mower back toward you on a hill.
Are they going to let the snow leopard cub play with the miniature penguins?
Mairdie, did you ever watch the “March of the Penguins”? It was a wonderful movie. Love your posts and beautiful pictures. Thanks.
I don’t know what Santa put in your stocking, but it probably should have been a gift certificate for therapy.
If you want, you can join my therapy group, People Who Are Afraid Of String.
It’ll tie up your Wednesday nights, though.
Such a great group of pictures
I’m trying to remember but it’s not ringing a bell. When I read an animal movie description, I’m always looking to make sure the animals are still alive at the end. If they were at the end of that movie, then probably. If not, then probably not.
Infinite pleasure at sharing them with you. I feel like we’re all crowding into a room together and pressing our noses to the glass, looking over at each other and giggling our hearts out.
