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.
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. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
