Footage of 2 Snow Leopards Hunting

[Shearer30]

Hi All,

In May of 2004, I encountered two snow leopards hunting a dzo (part cow part yak) while climbing Stok Kangri Glacier in Ladakh, India. Amazingly, the dzo was a healthy, full-grown beast weighing at least six times as much as the leopards. I put together a very short documentary which includes the footage. It can be viewed at:

That's a very professional piece! I enjoyed it.

If you go back to film a follow-up segment and you need a still photographer to document the event, you have my number

Great film. Gives new meaning to the old saying Being in the right place at the right time.

Cheers,

That is simply amazing! I loved seeing that snow leopard run with that long tail for balance!

Thank you very much for your feedback. In truth, there has since been footage of snow leopards hunting in the wild, but I don't believe there is any other footage of them hunting an animal so large.

Really should have made htis back in 2004.
