Happy Birthday Gobi and Batu!

This Memorial Day marks the one year birthday of twin snow leopards, Gobi and Batu, who live at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle! Hooray! Check out their blog, and pictures of them playing with their enrichment birthday "cake." I'm so excited! One of these days I'll make that trip to Seattle just to see these beauties~

The snow leopards cubs get their their 6 week exam- and there is a video! Never have you seen such calm sweetness~ they are trusting and loving, and growing so fast! Why did I go to library school and not to Moorpark College? Oh, yeah, 'cause I love my job. :) But I would seriously consider a switch in career choices if I knew someone would let me help take care of snow leopard kittens!

Sorry about all the !!! Can you tell I'm a little excited? Seriously. Watch the video.

Out of the Shadows

Check out this link to an article published the newest issue of National Geographic- it's got a really long article on snow leopards called, "Out of the Shadows" written by Douglas H. Chadwick. Many thanks and Kudos to National Geographic for taking the time to climb mountains in nearly uninhabitable weather, do research, photograph and educate about snow leopards, and also to my rockin' friend Dave with the sharp eye who sent me this magazine!

(Wow, two posts in one day! That doesn't happen very often.)
