A portrait of a Snow Leopard, a very rare and solitary animal. There is only one place in the world they live and that’s in the Himalayas! The cat has been rarely photographed in the wild but things are changing.
This particular cat has bits and pieces from cats at the Cincinnati, Cleveland, Akron and Columbus Zoo.. bits and pieces meaning photographs.. not the real cats!!
