Endangered Snow Leopard / Uncia uncia or Panthera uncia
I was just able to photograph this absolutely gorgeous, endangered/threatened Snow Leopard (at the Calgary Zoo) in between the bars from a distance. Just a slight blur at left and right. There is a double fence around their enclosure, so you can't get up close and actually put your camera lens in between the bars. Just love those beautiful eyes.
"Snow leopards live between 3,000 and 5,500 metres (9,800 and 18,000 ft) above sea level in the rocky mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. Their secretive nature means that their exact numbers are unknown, but it has been estimated that between 3,500 and 7,000 snow leopards exist in the wild and between 600 and 700 in zoos worldwide."
