Little and big❄️ You can visit Jita and her #snowballs Zoya and Minu in their Eurasia Wilds habitat on Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends. Dad Pemba takes his turn enjoying the outdoor space on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so you’ll always catch a member of this beautiful snow leopard family during your winter visit 🐾 The elusive snow leopard, also known as the “ghost cat”, is not often spotted in the wild and is listed as Vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) list. The Toronto Zoo participates in the snow leopard Species Survival Plan® (SSP), a cooperative breeding program amongst AZA accredited North American facilities. Through the SSP, we maintain a sustainable population of snow leopards in human care to preserve their genetic diversity and allow them to serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts.
