Kota's Friend

"Kota" is the male snow leopard I posted yesterday (next picture) and this is the man he played with through the glass, that I talked to for quite a while.
He spends most of his spare time at the zoo, loving the animals and getting to know them.
He carries a crumpled up bag with a homemade sandwich & a thermos of water, so he can spend hours visiting them.

Yesterday Jay commented and thought it might be of interest to some of you. The cub I posted pictures of is "Kota", one of the two mentioned in the article.

How wonderful that this man connects with the animals in such a wonderful way.
Thanks for sharing these and the story Carol.

It must be wonderful for Kota to have a human friend to play with. The interaction between them must be fantastic. I was at the exhibit in May of 2007, and it is one of the many gems of the Toronto Zoo. Great work on this series, Carol. Vote

Thanks for sharing that link!
He is quite a special person and
it's an honor to meet him if only
in photos and your words.
