Artist's Comments

A snow leopard cub gets groomed by its mother...and boy, does it have quite the scowl going on.

Several things come to mind when I saw this:

-That Lion King moment when Simba is embarassed when his mother is giving him a bath against his will.

-My mother making sure I was "clean" when I was little by licking her finger and rubbing dirt off my face

-The whole nagging mother thing about "washing behind the ears"

I'm sure you folks could relate.

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.
