Potpourri Galore | Snow Leopard Stare

3/05/2023 Potpourri Galore | Snow Leopard Stare

Potpourri Galore | Snow Leopard Stare   The eyes tell the story.  They are intently focusing on me.  Luckily for me, Snow Leopards are not very aggressive toward humans.  Snow Leopards don’t roar, but they do growl.  They also purr, mew, hiss, moan, and yowl.   For more images, see Snow Leopard | a 7 Image Story. 

The Back Story  This image was anything but a simple click.  Finally, it became a simple click after positioning myself with a long telephoto lens to make the fence disappear.   This image was captured in the Central Park Zoo in NYC.   Note: I post an image regularly at hankconrad.com.

Nikon D300 Salad | Angry Snow Leopard   Snow Leopards are not very aggressive toward humans.  In fact, they are the least aggressive of all the “Big Cats”.  Still, a Snow Leopard presents a very imposing figure.  Luckily this image was captured in the Central Park Zoo in NYC.  The teeth tell the story. Snow Leopards don’t roar, but they do growl.  They also purr, mew, hiss, moan, and yowl.   For more snow leopard images, see Snow Leopard | a 7 Image Story.
