Snowy is what they call this twelve month old kitty cub, for she has fur fairer than most. This one, together with a few dozen big cats, calls Zoobic Safari her home.

Notice the white spots on either ear? These spots that tigers have on the back of their ears are called “eye spots” or “predator spots” which function as false eyes for any predator approaching from behind. Pretty cool, huh?
