Ist time on grass

I was fortunate to be able to photograph the pair of 10 week old snow leopard cubs on their first trip outside of the nursery, where they were being hand raised, after their mother rejected them.  The cubs showed no fear, but seemed to enjoy the new sights and sounds.

John: thanks for posting these fun shots of a rarely seen animal. It's great to see them regardless of where they were photographed. Richard
