A photo of a tiger sitting amidst some bamboo covered in the ice and light snow of winter. He is looking at something slightly to the camera left. This is Diego, as far as the story goes, he was left abandoned as a baby in front of a nearby vet, and after a lot of back and forth (he was of unknown origin and heritage, probably from a circus, so other zoos or conservation centers did not want to "waste" space for him) he is living out his life in Barnim.

A photo of a white tigress in the enclosure, walking and looking towards the camera. She was lying on the ground before the photo, but as I slowly approached the fence to take the picture, she got curious. I am not good with names, but what I know is that she is similarly a mix with some siberian tiger in there, and was also brought in to get Diego (who was hand-raised) less focussed on people but on another tiger. Since she is a white tiger, like every other one of these, she descends from a single parent somewhere in the middle of the 20th century (it is a rare mutation and significantly reduces fitness for hunting in the wild, but once people found it, they were severely inbred because they looked different).

A photo of a snow leopardess walking towards the camera in part of their enclosure. She is intently looking at the camera, ears folded back somewhat (but she was mostly curious once she fully approached the fence). IIRC, this is Padme.

A photo of a clouded leopardess standing somewhat in profile in her enclosure, looking to the camera left. You can clearly see the large splotches on the side of her fur, though sadly in this framing, her long tail is only partially visible. Again, I have difficulty with names, but she has not been been there for that long, and is extremely shy (I was apparently the first visitor to see her outside).
