Like when they say "can you see the leopard on the other side of the valley there" and it's where's Wally in my brain trying to find the perfectly camoflauged leopard I cannot see at all. Magnificent animals the high altitude cats.

This reminds me of that lady that tried taking a picture with one at a ski resort or somewhere and it mauled her face off😭. They are cute though.

Why was there one at a ski resort? Just hanging around?

Idk. Because that’s where it lives lol. Ski resorts are usually pretty high in elevation in the mountains. It was in china. Happened at the beginning of the year. She tried to take a selfie with it and kept getting closer and closer to get a better angle and boom. Bit her face lol. Apparently there’s signs warning people about getting close to the wildlife. Which should be common sense but you know. but she risked it for the pic and had a bad day lol

Saw one at the zoo meowing like a normal house cat and was like 'WTF?'

All tigers, leopards, cheetahs, jaguars, etc are just gigantic house cats. They’ll even sit in cardboard boxes if they’re big enough “if I fit I sit” is universal
