Camera Trap Video: Snow Leopard Mother and Cubs in South Gobi, Mongolia
Panthera's snow leopard scientists have just retrieved this video of a snow leopard mother and her two cubs investigating a camera trap in the Tost Mountains of South Gobi, Mongolia. Based on the size of the cubs, our scientists estimate that they were at least born in the spring of 2010. Our scientists hope to collar these snow leopards in the coming months to learn more about their habitat use, breeding habits, survival, interactions with local human communities, and other valuable data.
Learn more about Panthera's work with the Snow Leopard Trust in Mongolia to monitor snow leopard populations using GPS collars, fecal genetics, and camera traps. Also read up on our work with local communities to prevent snow leopard attacks on livestock and how eco-tourism operations are being used as one way to help offset the costs of livestock losses.
