Snow Leopard

Ena's first day on the exhibit.

I watched her twice for about 40 minutes while she restlessly explored her new home and eyed the nearby species, but she was not nervous. Just before I left she was yawning and sort of meowing at me.

Talked to all three of the keepers who usually look after the SLs. She is about 27K compared to Tiga's 35K and big boy Kota's 44K. She was in heat a couple of weeks ago and was chuffing at Kota, so they will try to put her with him next time. That will be it for any chances during this breeding season.

Good to see the new girl in town.

I would be disappointed with cubs this year. If they put her with him say this month, a 3 month pregnancy would mean June or July cubs which wouldn't go on display until late August through say October. Would be a waste. I would be happy with a failure this year and to try again in late fall for better timed cubs.
