This female Snow Leopard looks a bit 'wild-eyed' doesn't she? She is under the stress that humans are handling her young. She is a very good mother. Her cubs are doing well. She is also a wild animal with natural instincts. It takes a 'keen' awareness to be a zoo attendant with healthy respect for animal parents.
