RESCUING LEO THE SNOW LEOPARD
How an orphaned cub found loving care from people across the globe
In 2005, in the steep mountains of Pakistan, a passing herder noticed a tiny snow leopard cub,
helpless and alone on the mountainside. The cub’s mother was gone, probably killed by a hunter.
The man decided to take the orphan home and raise it. But after a week, the herder realized the
snow leopard baby wasn’t healthy and that he didn’t know how to feed it. The World Wide Fund for
Nature-Pakistan (WWF-P) heard about the cub and sent an employee to the herder’s remote village. The situation was urgent; snow leopards are an endangered species.
The wild cats are not only hunted for their beautiful, thick coats, but they have also lost much of
their natural prey, such as wild mountain goats and sheep, to the hunters. That has forced the normally shy cats to hunt livestock, which can get them shot by angry herders. The world population
of snow leopards in their natural range—high mountains in Central Asia—has dropped to between
3,500 and 7,500. In Pakistan only about 200 to 420 are left. The people at the WWF-P didn’t want
to lose another.
Without its mother, the cub wouldn’t be able to learn survival skills like hunting and could never be
released back into the wild. So, after a veterinary check-up, the young cat was sent to a national
park.
The cub was placed in the care of Kamal-ud-din, a wildlife keeper who often raised wild baby animals. Kamal named the cub Leo, because if you growl ‘leo’ repeatedly, it sounds similar to a
mother snow leopard’s call to its young.

As Leo grew, it became clear that he needed a new, long-term home. This time, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) came to Leo’s rescue. The organization sent a team that brought Leo
from Pakistan to the Bronx Zoo, a facility that WCS operates in New York City. Leo quickly
warmed up to his new home with the help of his new keepers.
In 2013, Leo’s first baby was born at the Bronx Zoo. “Leo – and his new cub – are living proof of
the importance, power, and significance of saving wildlife,” says WCS Asia Program deputy director Peter Zahler. “Leo has helped bring people together from around the world in an effort to save
this iconic animal, and WCS is committed to working with our partners in Pakistan to help save
snow leopards in the wild.”

Script Part 2
October 31st is Halloween. On that night, children around the United States will wear special
clothing and make up their faces to look like frightening creatures. These little vampires, ghosts
and witches will walk around their neighborhoods, knocking on doors and yelling “trick or treat.” If
the people in the homes do not give them a sweet treat, candy, the children may play a trick on
them.
Many homes are also dressed up for Halloween. People hang toy spiders, skeletons and other
scary decorations on trees and bushes. Pumpkins are also popular. People often empty the pumpkins and carve frightening faces on them. Then they place a candle inside so the pumpkin face
glows in the night.
Halloween traditions developed from Celtic beliefs in ancient Britain. The Celts believed that spirits
of the dead would return to their homes on October 31st, the day of the autumn feast. Celts would
build huge fires to frighten away evil spirits released with the dead on that night.
People from Scotland and Ireland brought these ideas with them when they came to America.
Some believed that spirits played tricks on people on the last night of October.
Today, Halloween is a favorite holiday among children. But Halloween is also big business. The
National Retail Federation has reported predictions about Halloween spending for the last 11
years. It says, this year, it expects Halloween sales to total about $7.4 billion. The National Retail
Federation says the average person will spend more than $77 on Halloween goods. And, the NRF
says more Americans plan to take part in Halloween activities than last year. The group expects
162 million people to celebrate compared to 158 million people in 2013.
Humans will not be the only costumed creatures Halloween night. The National Retail Federation
says about 23 million people plan to dress up their animals. The top two popular pet costumes are
pumpkins and hot dogs.
Happy Halloween!
