Our group watching the first SnowLeopard from a knoll above our camp in Hemis National Park. At this very spot, on our first afternoon in the park, and within half an hour of officially beginning our SnowLeopard search, our expert local spotter had exclaimed “ Shan !!” – the Ladakhi name for SnowLeopard.
The photo at the top of this post is from Adam’s awesome post on seeing a SnowLeopard hunt. Whatever your plans this weekend, make time to enjoy SkyWatch Friday. Also be sure to come back Monday to share your best bird of the weekend ! Birding February weekend'
These days, the species shares habitats with Tigers, SnowLeopard, Bears, etc. During the Pleistocene, Dholes were found across the Northern Hemisphere, including Europe and North America, sharing their space with sabre-toothed cats. If they can survive next to such neigbours, how come they are endangered?
From Cougars, tigers, cheetahs, jaguars, and snowleopards and more, it’s a great time to learn more about these amazing cats! Tune in Sunday to watch the first ever capture and release of an endangered snowleopard in Afghanistan! SnowLeopard of Afghanistan. Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012, at 8 p.m.
I tried touching up The Management in case they were keen to offer a prize and they replied that a fantastic trip with Adam to go looking for SnowLeopards can be purchased by the winner! Best of luck. How many did you get? competitions ducks Wood Duck'
Thinking about what might come next once I see some of these, I feel like the Okapi, one of the tapirs, or perhaps even a Clouded or SnowLeopard could make the list even less do-able. Looking over my list, it seems I’m a fairly shallow wildlife watcher interested in spectacle. No drab LBJs on my list.
Everything from lions in Kenya to snowleopards in the Himalaya, the big cats all need our help. So of course we wanted to help spread the word about the Cause an Uproar initiative. Big cats in the world need our help. They are disappearing quickly due to habitat loss as well as conflict with humans.
But he’s got stiff competition, including peers working to save Tree Kangaroos in Papua New Guinea, Sumatran Orangutans in Indonesia, and SnowLeopards in Pakistan. Which makes him a formidable candidate for the prestigious prize.
The bulk of my lifers were on a trip to India in October/November but all the birds were surpassed by watching and photographing a SnowLeopard hunting and killing a Blue Sheep , so none of them are real contenders for BBOTY. Hence my birding travel (and blogging) has been curtail (but life much enriched!)
Apparently, wildlife in Afghanistan is managing to survive despite the horrors of war and violence. The stupid video won't embed, so here's the link to the web page. It's from Time Magazine.
