Kush at Sunsetby *HeWhoWalksWithTigers

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Wild Animals

A snow leopard named Kush after drinking from her water bowl, looking on as the sun sets on a bitterly cold day at Jungle Cat World.

Edit: This photo was actually a finalist in the Snow Leopard Trust (www.snowleopard.org) photo contest. Though against some tough competition, it managed to place second! Thank you to all who voted!

Snow leopards are found in mountainous central Asia, also called "the roof of the world". They are acclimated for some of the harshest terrain and climate in the world and are extremely elusive. Sadly, snow leopards are not elusive enough to escape the hand of man. They are an endangered species and there may be as few as 3,000 left in the wild with populations decreasing. Individuals are often the victims of revenge killing after taking village livestock, poaching for their bones and skin, prey depletion and habitat loss.

Snow Leopards are always so beautiful.

Out of the two Kush pics, I really like this one better because her direction isn't toward the camera. You also get a real strong feel of light and shadow.

She's a very beautiful creature.

She is so beatiful! I just love big cats.
