Zookeepers Take Adorable Video When They Notice Snow Leopard Playing

This big cat plays just like any other feline!

The life of a zookeeper isn't all fun and games... but sometimes it totally is! Caretakers at the UK's Twycross Zoo were treated to the show of a lifetime when they noticed one of their snow leopards romping around. The big cat was in a more playful mood than usual, and it made for some great entertainment!

Unsurprisingly, the smile-inducing video has been skyrocketing to viral fame. It's not every day that we get to see a zoo animal hopping in play, after all.

This video's audio couldn't be more accurate! This snow leopard has become popular on TikTok practically overnight, and we're sure this hopping drew quite a crowd in person, too. We certainly would've stopped to enjoy the show!

"All cats run on the same operating system," commented @shamanicchild. LOL--that's so true, though! This leopard's play style is nearly identical to any house cat's way of playing, and that's just part of what makes it so adorable. There's just so much to love about this big cat's burst of energy!

We're on precisely the same page as @the.tuxedo.cat.arthur who said, "My toxic trait is I think I could snuggle it and give it boops." We know exactly what you mean! Even though this snow leopard is a fully-grown predator, it also looks as soft and fluffy as a stuffed animal. Like @sunnykiwipuckpuck asked, "if not friend, why friend shaped?" You've got us stumped with that one!

From the cat's curly tail to their chaotic way of jumping and pawing, there's just so much to appreciate about this beautiful animal. No wonder these zookeepers had to stop and record the fun!
