  3. Dear Michelle!
    Thank you for the wonderful photos of these beautiful big cats! All big cats are magnificent animals, but snow leopards have something mystical and melancholic about them, perhaps because of their unfathomable eyes and calm nature. In any case, they not only have particularly beautiful fur, but also the softest and probably warmest.

    Hugs
