A Precious Pair

The birth of the new Snow Leopard cubs at Melbourne Zoo was amazing news for many of us regular zoo visitors. Melbourne Zoo hadn’t seen a Snow Leopard birth for over 20 years which means most of us had never come face to face with them before. The cubs started venturing out with mum Meo...
