Who are Everest and Kilimanjaro?
Everest and Kilimanjaro are leopards. Everest was born in a zoo in the States, somewhere in the West. Separated from his mother at an early age, he soon escaped from captivity and made his way to the Bay Area, where he met Kilimanjaro. Kilimanjaro was born in Tanzania in the Serengeti National Park, but escaped with his parents to seek asylum in India. After a brief stay, the family spent the next year on the move, spending short periods in Indonesia, Tahiti, and Mexico before settling in California.
