Scottish public name 'double trouble' snow leopard cubs

Animal lovers were invited to cast their votes

A pair of snow leopard cubs at Highland Wildlife Park have been named, following a public vote.

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) invited animal lovers to choose from three pairs of names inspired by the landscapes of the snow leopard’s natural range in Central and South Asia.

After thousands of votes across the charity’s social media channels, Indra and Tama emerged as the clear favourites for the “double trouble” pair.

Indra is a male Nepalese name and Tama is one of the rivers that make up the Koshi river system.

Mum Pari gave birth to the twins in May and they recently had their first health check, which confirmed they are a boy and a girl.

The pair have received a clean bill of health and are continuing to thrive alongside Pari at the park.
