orangesims [2008-06-04 09:31:03 +0000 UTC]

i know, i know, i'm being a little pedantic with what i'm about to say.
but the Snow Leopard is not part of the Panthera genus.. it is Uncia Uncia, it has its own genus all to itself.

However, Uncia and Panthera are all part of the Pantherinae subfamily


but, we're not here to discuss classifications are we.
this pic is so gorgeous!!!!!!!! i love it

it has a very "you make Uncia unhappy." face hehe

Thank you for your insight! I wiki'd Snow Leopards and it indicates that both names are acceptable?

I didn't know about the fact that it is in it's own genus. Just another example of how beautiful and rare these creatures are, there is nothing else quite like them on the planet!

I'll make sure to correct the mistake the next time I get the honor of photographing these marvelous animals. Thanks again for stopping by!

May I use this one as little LiveJournal icon? (grumpy mood) That would be very nice. Thank you for your answer.

It's a nice balance of colors, textures, and the expression is priceless.
I like how the fur almost blends with the rock on the bottom.

m00phr In reply to koppella [2007-03-01 03:48:06 +0000 UTC]

thankyou!
I know its a "simulated" habitat, but the blending cant be coincidental. Yay evolution!

squished and chunky and cute. xD

Its funny how the extra winter fur gives them that face.

Beautiful animals! What a great shot. I got a shot of a half-grown snow leopard being bottle-fed... totally heart-melting, jealousy-inspiring moment of my life! At least I got right up close to it, never thought I'd get the chance to do that.

robbobert [2005-07-11 19:20:30 +0000 UTC]

Very nice photo. I just love it when the glass is clean enough that it disappears in the picture. Most of my pictures are taken through glass also, and I've had a couple great ones get ruined by smudges and scratches on the glass. But this is very well done. I like the composition, having the leopard in the the bottom two thirds of the picture, and I like the look in its eyes. Snow leopards are awesome. One of the best out there.

Yeah I was very pleased with how this came out. And I did have a more centered shot which I'll later upload to the scaps (too lazy) but I do think the clarity was a miracle. Thanks for the comment I'm very pleased you like it!

He was sleeping and then people came by and started yelling and he woke up and then went into this position with that "here we go again" look in his eyes. hehe. Thanks for the comment!
