So precious...and whatta face!
Only when the confides of a zoo setting are the only refuge.
Endangered Species need protecting.

Thank you Cher

I know people don't like zoos, but their natural habitat is being destroyed and the leopards are being poached- at least the San Diego Zoo does their best to give the animals proper food, medical care, and enrichment...

You're right Christine, I am part of the people who don't like zoos, but I have to admit that they are necessary...

I hate that these magnificent creatures have to be in capitivity and to have humans stare at them all the time. I'd like to see their enclosure to make sure that it's similar to their natural habitat.
