Description
A young Snow Leopard learns to hunt ...Beautiful and elusive, Snow Leopards are found in the rugged mountains of twelve countries across Central Asia. It is estimated that only between 4,000 and 6,500 of these endangered animals are left in the wild. Snow Leopards are perfectly adapted for the cold, barren landscape of their high altitude home, however, human threats, such as poaching, and loss of habitat have created an uncertain future for these wonderful animals.

This is gorgeous..I love animals so much! You must have an amazing life judging by your gallery, although I would imagine right now it involves a lot of hard work and guts. My life has never been boring, but I have never been able to see creatures like this magnificent cat

He was an adolescent, about 14 months old, learning by "hunting" his mother. As this moment was captured, he was deciding whether or not to pounce on her.

It was a special moment, a moment of uncertainty for him as he practiced hunting by stalking his mother, - a learning game they played.

I won't be able to post a thumb of the photograph since I don't have a premium membership anymore but I can of course do everything else as well as post a link to World Wildlife Fund to adopt a Snow Leopard. Are there any other sites you would like me to post?
