Snow leopard

Wowwwww..... I can hardly believe how magnificent he/she is. Those paws are really big!

A wonderful capture, Peter.

Hi Karen ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
A keeper was telling me about a stray rabbit that got into the cage, and one swipe from those big paws..... He has big teeth too!
Best Wishes, and keep safe!!

Hi Peter,
How beautiful he is! I love the dark background and the detail is superb.
My brother's two cats died this year and he is going to The Cat Protection Society to give another a good home. I'm guessing it won't be as big as this one though ;-))
Best wishes & take care,
Rosa.

Hi Rosa,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
Glad you like him. I did take around 20 pictures, but always difficult when they are behind a fence.. Perhaps he is friendly really!
Best Wishes, and keep safe!!

My dear Peter,

A snow leopard on a dark background sits and proudly looks ahead! He appears to be as confident as he is big!
Superb picture!

Stay safe and healthy!

Fabulous shot of this odd-eyed leopard, how do you call it, "wall eyes", isn't it?

Hi Christa

Thank you so much for visiting our friend here, and for your suggestions on the upload problem.

We do say "Wall eyes", but also (more commonly) "Cross eyed". www.umkelloggeye.org/conditions-treatments/strabismus

Although, I think if we went in his cage is eyesight would be good enough for him to find us very quickly!!

Best Wishes and keep safe.

Peter

I think you're right, Peter, he would find us quickly;-)))
What you mention is misaligned eyes, I mean what we call in French "yeux vairon" where each eye has a different colour.

Hi Christa,

Thank you for looking again!!
I did go back and look at all the pictures I took here. I think the different colours is a trick of the light. In all the other pictures they are both the same colour.

As you say, very good for eating us!!

Best wishes
Peter

Wishing you and your family a Happy Christmas, and a peaceful New Year in which I hope we can wake up from this nightmare. Please stay safe !!!!!!

Hi June

Thank you so much!
And likewise best wishes to you and yours also!

This big cat has not lost any of its dignity even though captive. Your photo really shows the cat off really well - proud and, to me, slightly scary. The different color eyes (by shadow, I believe) add to the intensity of the photo. Very beautiful.
