When her lovely face turns and she meets your eyes with hers, Anna’s beauty is radiant! As the most mature of the snow leopards at the San Diego Zoo, her eyes have seen quite a bit over the years. She’ll be turning 14 next month. I think of her as a wise and sweet tempered girl. She’s affectionately known by her keepers as Anna Banana, and after seeing the way she responds, I’d say she loves them as much as they love her.
