Endangered baby snow leopards take first steps outside
We can’t help but agree.
Two of the cuddly cubs have been given names, but the zoo is now looking for help in naming the third. According to the zoo’s website, the female is called Animesh, which means ‘bright’ in Nepalese, and one of the males has been named Ariun, which means ‘pure’ in Mongolian. You can submit your suggestions for the second male’s name to Marwell up until July 22, when the zoo will open voting to the public.
The three cubs are part of the global captive snow leopard population that is helping sustain the endangered species. The World Wildlife Fund estimates that there may be as few as 4,000 left worldwide.
