The Bronx Zoo is showing off its newest resident: a snow leopard born there in the spring.
The 17-pound cub is the first son of Leo, an orphaned snow leopard that was brought to the zoo after his mother and siblings were killed in Pakistan in 2005.
Leo was paired with Maya, a proven breeder, and the cub was born on April 9. The baby, who is not yet named, went on view last week.

(55,894 posts)she and her assistant were put up in a five star hotel in Pakistan and the young male snow leopard (who was tame) was kept caged in their hotel room.
For the leopard's dinner, they would order up from room service 4 pounds of lamb every day they were there
. RAW.
Room service brought up the raw lamb on a silver tray with white linen napkin etc. LOL!
