3. I've seen the snow leopards at the Bronx Zoo, and...
I wish I hadn't lost the pictures. They are incredible-- just like big ol' housecats having fun in the snow. This guy should fit right in and have the time of his life there. He'll probably be there for a while, since who knows when Pakistan will ever get around to building their environment.

The snow leopard environment was right next to the red pandas, more fascinating little critters we're killing off in the wild.
