The bouncing and bounding sisters were both born on May 16, weighing 4.5 kilograms and 4.7 kilograms (9.9 and 10.3 pounds) respectively. They are children of 9-year-old leopards, the female Kira and the male Himal, who came to the zoo at the end of last year. /VCG Photo.

The snow leopard has thick, cream-colored coats and gray-black spots. These unique patterns act as camouflage for them in snow-covered mountainous areas, winning them the name “ghosts of the mountains.” /VCG Photo.
