Mexican-born street artist Werc Álvarez (a.k.a w3rk) is one of the best street artists in the world right now, and regularly paints large, colorful, kaleidoscopic murals on the streets of Brooklyn. Learn all about what drives the artist to do what he does in this short profile video from our friends at Great Big Story.

Driving […] through the streets of Brooklyn, New York, you can’t miss the visual kaleidoscope of colors, imagery and paint that cover much of the borough. This is the epicenter and birthplace of global street art. One of the more recognizable “canvases” on these streets belongs to Werc , a Mexican-born artist living in New York. His large-scale murals offer a sensation of colors that blend of pre-Columbian natural imagery and contemporary street style. Werc’s art isn’t just eye-popping—it has the power to transform the way we perceive our everyday surroundings.

The Snow Leopard is a "vulnerable" endangered species of large felines. Commonly found in the steep and rocky mountains of East Asia, the population has been threatened by poachers and local farmers and shepherds who want to prevent the Snow Leopard from eating their livestock. The Wildlife Conservation Society and the Bronx Zoo have one of the only Snow Leopard breeding programs in the United States, and have seen 70 Snow Leopards born since 2006, including this cute female cub who recently made her debut.

Visit the cute Snow Leopard cub at the Bronx Zoo anytime during normal operating hours in the Himalayan Highlands section of the park.
