A heartfelt farewell to Pemba, the beloved snow leopard at Toronto Zoo 🐆

After spending years at the Toronto Zoo, male snow leopard Pemba is continuing his journey as an ambassador for his species at another accredited zoo in North America. This video captures some of the final moments to see Pemba in his Eurasia Wilds habitat before his departure.

Pemba has played an important role in the conservation of snow leopards. Over the years, he contributed to the future of his species by fathering cubs Minu and Zoya, helping support the genetic diversity of the managed population. His legacy will continue through the next generation.
