Today we're celebrating #NationalSiblingsDay with Minu and Zoya 🐾❄️

Both continue to grow with Zoya weighing in at 27kg this week and Minu at 25.2kg. At almost 11 months old, they are easily distinguishable by their size, now nearly 2/3 the size of mom Jita, and by their unique markings. Zoya sports a darker nose, similar to Jita’s, while Minu has a lighter, more pink nose like dad Pemba.

In the mornings, they’re quite active—either bird watching or keeping an eye on their West Caucasian tur neighbors. Their favorite enrichment items include bones, jolly eggs, and spices like cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg—just like their mom. Despite these enriching activities, nothing beats playing and chasing one another and sometimes even playfully stalking their keepers from afar.

Zoya remains a true “mommy’s girl” and almost always chooses to rest close to Jita, while Minu has grown more independent.

You can visit Jita and her #snowballs, Zoya and Minu, in their Eurasia Wilds habitat on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. Dad Pemba enjoys the outdoor space on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays—ensuring you’ll always catch a member of this beautiful snow leopard family during your visit.🐾
