Léo, the new baby

HFF. In a previous post I told how I met a snow leopard in Pakistan. Her guardian rescued her, and has kept her for 10 years. The Pakistan Wildlife Service recently arrested and jailed 2 men in a remote valley for attempting to sell this baby snow leopard, and they asked Ghulam Rasul, the guardian of the older snow leopard to also care for this new baby, Leo. It had only been with him a week, slept in his bed, and was in a barred smaller enclosure to assimilate. It has since been introduced to the large outside enclosure. It was one of the most touching moments of my life to meet this very poor, but very selfless man, who has saved these two endangered animals.
And the eyes of this animal!
Have a happy Friday, and a super weekend. Diana

Je trouve que c'est magnifique de préserver cette biodiversité animale et de punir tous ceux qui ignorent Les lois locales.
