Snow Leopards Enjoy Dynamic New Habitat

Collaborating extensively with the San Francisco Zoo's animal wellness team, MKThink designed a dynamic habitat for their Snow Leopards. This new space simulates the leopards' natural environment and provides an over eight-fold increase in accessible range for these endangered felines. Other improvements include enhanced vertical range, additional view perspectives, and varied microclimates to promote animal health in support of a national species propagation program.
