An adorable snow leopard cuddles with a giant rabbit made out of grass that it was gifted by the Moscow Zoo in Russia.
The footage shows a zookeeper giving the snow leopard a gift of raw rabbit meat as well as the rabbit made of grass.
The leopard, named Uncik, appears to completely ignore the tasty meat dish and heads straight over to the grass rabbit to cuddle with it.
The images were obtained from Moscow Zoo on Tuesday, 5th November, along with a statement saying: “Yesterday, we showed you how Dayna tackled her gifts; today, let’s see how Uncik handled his.
“In these videos, you can spot the character differences between our snow leopards. Uncik is more cautious, reserved, and affectionate.
“Unlike Dayna, who dashed straight to her treats, ignoring the grassy rabbit, Uncik immediately went to his new green friend, not even glancing at the boxes or the plate of meat, and indulged in some feline tenderness.”
