Pakistani snow leopard at Bronx zoo



By Masood Haider


NEW YORK, Sept 25: First Lady Sehba Musharraf visited Bronx zoo on Monday afternoon to officially hand over a Pakistani snow leopard cub on loan to the zoo authorities.

At the handing over ceremony, Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans, Environment and Science Claudia Mcmurray welcomed Mrs Musharraf after the Cub known as Leo was handed over officially to the facility.

The 16-month-old cub was found in the mountains last year after his mother had been killed.

Mrs Musharraf said that Leo would be returned to Pakistan where a centre would be set up for rehabilitation of endangered species.

She pointed out that Pakistan attached great importance to conservation of wildlife.
