Amid the city’s hum, the snow leopard sits — stillness itself.

Quiet viewing = better behavior. Keep voices low and movements slow near the glass.

Viewing Tips

  • Early morning for quieter paths.
  • Watch for tail flicks (alertness) and ear turns (sound tracking).
  • Respect distance; this is a calm exhibit.
  • Overcast days reduce glare and reflections on viewing glass.

Behavior Decoder

  • Tail wrap around paws → resting comfort.
  • Slow head lifts → ambient noise interest.
  • Focused stare → potential enrichment or keeper activity nearby.

Conservation Context

  • Threats: Habitat loss, poaching, declining prey.
  • Solutions: Protected ranges, community programs, and research funding.
  • How to help: Support reputable conservation orgs and avoid products linked to habitat loss.

Quiet is a feature here — let the leopard’s presence be the scene.
