Snow Leopard Boundary Requirement is incorrect

[ZSHplays]

Found this amusing today when building a Snow Leopard habitat! According to the Fun Facts on the Zoopedia, Snow Leopards can jump to a height of 6m, however, according to the Boundary Requirement on the very same screen, you only need a 3m high fence to contain them

Also their Latin name is wrong on the habitat board, says Uncia uncia when it should be Panthera uncia.

Snow leopards can leap 6m forward. Probably spelling mistake.

It says they can leap 6m up and 15m forward! Unless they meant feet? All the animal care manuals say that Snow Leopards have to be in completely enclosed habitats due to their jumping & climbing skills.

Nah, couldn’t be bothered making one as I always do custom billboards anyway

You can actually find open top enclosures for them. Nordens Ark in Sweden is a good example of that.

But yes, the fence needs to be much taller than 3m

I created it but I forgot to say it here

15m would be right around 50 feet which is what they can jump forward. WWF, national geographic, and others can be sited as a source for that info. 6m up (~20ft) sounds like its possible, I worked with one that regularly (and easily) jumped 10+ feet from a standstill to see over the concrete wall into the habitat next to it (there was fencing and hotwire above the concrete).

Nice to hear from a real zoo person! Thanks for the confirmation.
