I HAVE TO USE MY SOUND SWORD NOW.
I saw a snow leopard at the Cincinnati Zoo. It was real close and everyone was marveling at its majesty. Then it lifted its floofy tail and sprayed the glass with some rip-roarin’ loose poop.

They also have the highest fur thickness of any cat (or so I've read), which makes them extra fluffy. I've held a 6-week old cub, it was possibly the floofiest thing I've ever touched.

They are also the goofiest animals ever.



No regrets.

They have been hoping to breed the pair that they have there. Unfortunately they were unsuccessful last year.

How do you even deal with that? Call animal control and hope it doesn't chew or pull any wires while you wait?

Pretty much, the followup to the post there had a video of the Sheriff and animal control showing up (and the deer evading them)

i think that's the Pallas Cat. They hate people and don't like one another very much either.

Agreed. My local zoo has a snow leopard enclosure, but I've never once seen it. It's always hiding.

I saw one at the Wilhelma zoo in Stuttgart:



The image isn't very zoomed in at all. I could have easily reached in there and (attempted to) pet it, but I valued my fingers a little too much. German zoo safety standards seem to assume people won't give in to their "i wanna pet it" urges.

They had clubs at point defiance a couple years ago and you guys missed it. And I got to see them romping around with handlers. It would've been worth flying across the world but I was only 40 min away.

Rabbits do not like being in water. The rabbit was likely panicked and trying to get to the nearest solid object.

Likewise the one in that video is probably so still because it's in shock. People who own rabbits are strongly advised not to bathe them even in small amounts of water as it can send them into sometimes fatal shock.

It was described as a swamp rabbit which do happily swim

Fair, I didn't realise swamp bunnies were a thing. But for non-swamp bunnies like that one in the pool above, immersion in water is likely to be a traumatic experience.
