You don’t have to be a Mac user to appreciate this snow leopard.
But you do need some way of glomming onto cyberspace to watch 6ABC’s video of
the newborn cub at The Cape May County Park & Zoo in Cape May Court House, New Jersey. It was born in May to 8-year-old mama snow leopard Himani and 11-year-old papa Vijay, almost exactly a year after Himani gave birth to twin boys Sabu and Kaba. Just last month, The Philadelphia Zoo’s 3-year-old snow leopard Maya gave birth to a pair of cubs by 5-year-old Amga, video and photos of whom are also online. [Update: All but the zoo home-page links have gone bad.]

I've heard* that the white spots on the back of some big cat's ears are there as little markers for their babies to follow. I don't know if it's true but I refuse to believe otherwise.
ReplyDelete*Or I may have decided this for myself some time ago and now treat it as gospel.
