“The snow leopards cuddle up a heck of a lot,”, the 27-year-old, told NeedToKnow.co.uk
“Pretty much every night I think, at least at some point of the evening.
“Snow leopards are now down as vulnerable because the global population is estimated to number more than 2,500 but fewer than 10,000 mature individuals.”
The footage was captured at Paradise Wildlife Park in Hertfordshire, England, and showed their two snow leopards, 13-year-old Laila and two-year-old Yarko.
Laila moved to the park at the age of two, with Yarko joining her last year.
