A wildlife videographer captured an incredible scene when they spotted an extremely rare snow leopard, scientific name Panthera uncia, nestled down on a tiny perch on a massive cliffside.
Snow leopards are classified as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, with only an estimated 2,700 – 3,500 animals still in the wild.
This video really shows you why Snow leopards have earned the nickname “Ghosts of the Mountains” because they are so elusive and rarely seen in the wild. Great work by the filmmaker, who must have spent countless hours trying to spot this wonderful creature.
