Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia) in action as it leaps for it's prey

A well-planned attack turns to dross. The Snow Leopard was well concealed behind a rock and nicely placed just above the grazing Ibex. It peeps out from behind a rock but the Ibex sees it and for just those five seconds, everything is still. Both animals are in shock! The Snow Leopard that it's plan has been exposed. The Ibex because it is realizes the grave danger it's in... Then the chase begins, but it's over within a few seconds. The Ibex is more fleet-footed on the steep cliff-face and rocks while the Snow Leopard realizes the hunt is in vain, and both go their own way. What fantastic drama from the high Himalaya!

Snow Leopard is one of the large species of big cat family native to the mountain ranges of Himalayas. Snow leopard habitat in India includes in the 5 mountain state of Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh.

Snow leopards have evolved to live in some of the harshest conditions on Earth. Their white-grey coat spotted with large black rosettes blends in perfectly with the steep and rocky mountains of Central Asia.

The snow leopard’s powerful build allows it to scale great steep slopes with ease. Its hind legs give the snow leopard the ability to leap six times the length of its body. A long tail provides balance and agility and also wraps around the resting snow leopard as protection from the cold.
