Snow Leopards at Melbourne Zoo: Live View of a Rare and Majestic Species

The Snow Leopards of Melbourne Zoo are among the most captivating animals you can see live on camera. Native to the cold, rugged mountains of Central Asia, these elusive big cats are known for their thick white-grey coats, long tails, and piercing eyes and this live feed lets you witness their grace and power in real time, directly from their specially designed enclosure in Melbourne, Australia.

Every morning between 9:00 and 10:00 AM (local time), zookeepers feed the snow leopards, offering a rare opportunity to watch these predators in action. The camera often captures them pacing before feeding, climbing rocky ledges, or lounging in shaded spots: their spotted coats blending with the habitat’s stone and timber landscape.

The snow leopard habitat at Melbourne Zoo is modeled after their mountainous native terrain, with elevated platforms, enrichment objects, and cool retreats to encourage natural behavior. Viewers may see the leopards leaping, stretching, grooming, or engaging with their keepers during feeding and training routines.

Snow leopards are classified as vulnerable, with only an estimated 4,000 to 6,500 left in the wild. Melbourne Zoo plays a vital role in conservation through education and breeding programs. By observing them live, visitors can better understand the challenges these animals face in the wild, from habitat loss to poaching, and appreciate the efforts made to protect them.

This live camera stream is especially popular during the feeding hour, but offers a calming and majestic experience at any time of day. Whether they’re sleeping peacefully or stalking their way across a rocky outcrop, the snow leopards of Melbourne Zoo never fail to impress.
