Snow Leopard Double-Take

Not That Mike The Other Mike

“All right, Mr. Leopard, in this next scene your character sees the long-lost twin brother that supposedly died in a tragic weed-whacker accident. So you’re going to turn slowly and see him standing over you, and I want you to look at him with stunned amazement. But don’t overdo it, OK? Just keep it subtle.”

What’s really happening here: Paradise Wildlife Park in Hertfordshire installed a new video camera in the snow leopard enclosure, which the leopard just noticed for the first time.

    I’ve seen a lot of gifs of snow leopards reacting like this. Apparently they’re a bit high strung.

    To be fair, he was just hamming it up for the camera.

    Wonder if there’s a red light on the camera that turns on during recording. You know how much cats love that.

      Not sure what made me laugh more — his reaction or his hair.
