After seeing a light on the new camera, Jessie reportedly rolled on to her back and started wiggling around. She was acting like a turtle who was stuck on its back for a few minutes.

The stunning snow leopard was probably flustered because the camera was catching her bad side. Jessie always prefers to be camera-ready.

Jessie's hilarious reaction was caught on video and shared on the center's Facebook page. The video has since gone viral, accumulating over 1.5 million views within only a few days. Thousands of comments have expressed the joy and humor that viewers received from Jessie's unorthodox reaction to the camera.

One viewer made an accurate observation that humans have a similar reaction when accidentally turning on the front-facing camera. The person commented that everyone can relate to Jessie's reaction.

Another person compared Jessie's reaction to the funny trend of scaring cats with cucumbers. There was an internet trend in the past where owners would scare their cats with this green vegetable. For some reason, cats seemed to be scared of cucumbers.

Countless other viewers commented on the beauty of the snow leopard and the cute reaction.

However, some people were more concerned with the health of Jessie. Many people expressed feelings that that cat was too overweight. Many people noticed that Jessie had some difficulty standing up after falling on to her back. Other people commented that the snow leopard must be well fed.

In a hilarious response to these comments, Paradise Wildlife Park posted a picture of Jessie with her tongue sticking out. The wildlife center told viewers that this was Jessie's reaction to the comments about her weight.

On a more serious note, employees at the Paradise Wildlife Park assured viewers that Jessie was at a healthy weight. The center weighs all of their snow leopards on a regular basis. Jessie's weight was around 40kg. This is a normal weight for a snow leopard, especially since the cats have thick fur.

The group also commented that they employ some of the most well-respected cat veterinarians in the world.

Jessie recovered relatively quickly from the surprise camera. She even was able to sneak up on a cardboard zebra that was in her enclosure.

Hopefully, we'll be able to see more funny videos of Jessie and her lovable personality.
