Terrible news from the Salzburg Zoo: the little snow leopard Akira passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday. To what extent is currently unclear.
Akira and Nuri are the lucky ones at the Salzburg Zoo. They are the first snow leopard babies since 2019. The death of little Akira has hit the zoo staff hard. “It’s really terrible,” says spokeswoman Ulrike Ulmann in a hesitant voice. “It just happened and happened very quickly.” The cause of death is still unclear. According to initial findings, the snow leopard was not sick. An autopsy should determine what little Akira died of.
Akira and her sister Nuri were born on April 2 – a sensation for Salzburg. Snow leopards are native to the high mountains of Central Asia. Zoos play an important role in species conservation.
