Just to expand on this - Snow Leopards are actually insanely reclusive-- to the point they rarely even come in contact with their own kind (often avoiding each other entirely except mothers/cubs and during breeding season), and when they do it usually isn't on super friendly terms (they've got social skills at levels a lot of us on the Internet can relate to). They're also endangered, and are somewhat particular about their habitat, and tend to roam a decent amount, so they're fairly rare, and spotting them even more so.

At least you tried first, it's one thing for her to not give you a chance, it's another thing entirely for you to never give yourself a chance

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?? No, it's ---
the point. Speeding by waaay over your head

@dr_richard_ew haha probably, though that just leads to the other scenario where people are deliberately going out specifically to expose themselves/ take pics of asses in public places, which makes it the third and possibly most troubling contender of all

Ignoring the fact that bowls aren't actually good for fish in general, either way that runs the risk of introducing bacteria into the tanks, temperature variations, a complete lack of shelter for the fish once it's in the bowl (unless there's no shelter for it in the larger tank, which is even more troubling), a lack of aeration (and filtration), as well as isolation and stress on the fish, both in putting it in the bowl/transfer, and in returning it to that tank. It's also, again, entirely too small a bowl for a fish that size, not to mention it has no lid-- and some species of fish are quite willing to throw themselves OUT of bowls like this when they're stressed or find them too small. That bowl isn't even large enough for a Betta to spend any length of time. And that's also assuming the person renting the fish isn't uneducated or an ass and puts something dangerous in the bowl.
I would not be surprised if this hotel has a very high turn over rate of fish

Both of them were suffering by the end of their lives. But they had had good lives. Keeping them alive at that point just to spend time with them would have been selfish on our parts to the point of cruelty, and so much less than they would have deserved after all they'd given us

His sister went deaf, had chlamydia (<- not an std in cats and behaves differently. Results in very nasty eye infections), slept almost constantly, was on a multitude of medications, including pain medication, had to be taken in weekly just to be hydrated, and would end up close to dehydration before the next appointment. We were almost living at the vet with her, the bills were through the roof, but more than that she had no quality of life. She was in constant pain and would yowl from it-- particularly when she had to go to the bathroom, would wake up in confusion and often scared if I wasn't around (and I couldn't be around all the time), was ripping her nails out trying to drag herself up places she couldn't get to anymore because she couldn't jump (we did our best trying to accommodate her but can't get everything).

Every single animal I've owned just about has been put down, not because I didn't WANT to spend more time with them, but because they NEEDED it. My male cat, in particular, got extremely sick with stomach cancer. Like there was no stomach left. What's more, the vet said they were surprised he was even able to walk because his joints were in such poor shape. But he had never been one to complain. It wasn't until the end that he stopped eating that we even knew there was something so very wrong. He was 9.

Tbh that bowl isn't really an appropriate size, shape, etc for that fish for an extended period of time.. So it's not exactly unlikely

It took a minute

-squints at last comment-

Let's get ready
