Welcome, Choto!
We are SO excited to introduce you to Choto (show-toe), a two year old male snow leopard from the Dakota Zoo.
You may see Choto staying low to the ground "blending in" while he learns to navigate his new habitat. These long, slinking movements come natural to snow leopards while they are investigating and learning. The animal care team has already been training with him and it is going well!
Choto and Orya have a breeding recommendation.
Exact numbers of snow leopards in the wild is unknown, there may be no more than 6,390. Learn more: Snow Leopard Trust
