Another picture taken at the Dakota Zoo here in Bismarck, ND.

They recently put up a new big cats enclosure, in which you can go through a tunnel that takes you up into the enclosure itself into a little glass cage, so you can get a nice close view of the cats.

The cats also tend to lay on top of the glass since it is nice and warm. I got some photos of them doing that too which I will post eventually.

This snow leopard saw us watching and came right up to the glass and then jumped on top and laid there. Caught this photo as she was approaching us. Amazingly beautiful creature.
