Milja, a 1-year-old snow leopard, has arrived at the Akron Zoo!
on Tuesday announced Milja, a 1-year-old female snow leopard, has arrived at the zoo from the Milwaukee County Zoo in Wisconsin.
Milja was born on May 11, 2020. Her care team describes her as talkative and “very sassy and feisty.” She was born with a congenital condition called multiple ocular colobomas in her right eye. The condition is relatively common in snow leopards and can cause abnormalities to parts of the eye. Milja has colobomas in her iris, which causes her to be sensitive to light.
Her move to the Akron Zoo is based on recommendations from the Snow Leopard Species Survival Plan, which seeks to ensure a healthy and genetically diverse snow leopard population. Milja and the zoo’s male snow leopard, Tai Lung, will have a breeding recommendation in the future. Tai Lung is currently in the habitat daily. Milja will make her first appearance in the habitat this spring. The duo will be in the habitat on alternating days since snow leopards are solitary animals.
Winter zoo hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $9 per person and children under 2 are free. For more information visit the
