Rare snow leopard cubs debut at Bronx Zoo, NY.
Snow Leopard Cubs Make Their Debut at Bronx Zoo
Two adorable snow leopard cubs, a male and a female, are stealing hearts as they make their highly anticipated public debut at the renowned Bronx Zoo in New York.
These little bundles of joy, yet to be named, are the offspring of two beloved resident snow leopards at the zoo. With their playful antics and irresistible charm, they are captivating visitors of all ages.
The Bronx Zoo is home to a total of 10 majestic snow leopards, and these two cubs are the latest additions to the family.
A Species in Need of Protection
Found in the remote and rugged landscapes of Central Asia, snow leopards are considered “vulnerable” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Their survival is threatened by habitat loss and poaching.
Since 1903, the Bronx Zoo has been at the forefront of snow leopard conservation efforts. It was the first zoo to showcase these magnificent creatures, and since then, it has celebrated the birth of 80 snow leopard cubs.
By raising awareness and supporting conservation initiatives, the Bronx Zoo continues to play a vital role in safeguarding the future of these endangered felines.
What is the rate at which the first hose fills the tank in gallons per hour?
Suppose you have a 20-gallon tank and you want to fill it with water at a constant rate using two identical hoses. One hose fills the tank in 4 hours, while the other hose fills the tank in 6 hours.
To find out how long it will take to fill the tank using both hoses, you can add their rates of filling the tank. The first hose can fill 1/4 of the tank in one hour since it takes 4 hours to fill the entire tank. Similarly, the second hose can fill 1/6 of the tank in one hour.
Now, let’s say the combined rate is represented by x. To solve for x, you add the individual rates: 1/4 + 1/6 = 3/12 + 2/12 = 5/12.
Therefore, the combined rate is 5/12 of the tank filled in one hour.
To determine how long it takes to fill the entire tank using both hoses, divide the total tank size (20 gallons) by the combined rate (5/12 gallon/hour):
Time = 20 / (5/12) = 20 * (12/5) = 48 hours.
Therefore, it will take 48 hours to fill the 20-gallon tank using both hoses together.
