Looking for the elusive snow leopard? Try Central Park.
Who in Manhattan needs to travel to the Himalayas – or even the Bronx to see snow leopards? They’re getting closer by the minute. Mark your calendar for 13-14 june 2009 when the snow leopards will make their debut at The Central Park Zoo.
These beautiful cats are endangered, with only about 6,000 left in the wild. The concept of zoos and raising animals in captivity is a hot-button issue. Are you a zoobie? Any thoughts?
