Info From Licensor: "Ada was the female of our pair of snow leopard when I worked at a zoo about 7 years ago. She loved getting attention from the keepers and the volunteer and she could see when they were approaching the back door to the enclosure. She would the do this parkour-style jump down to the door in order to get scratched behind the ears. Snow leopards are endangered in the wild, and Ada and her male were part of a managed breeding program designed to act as a genetic 'safety net' to protect the integrity of the wild population." - Adam Mitchell
