Our photo of the day is a camera trap photo of a snow leopard with a beautiful view of the Kharlung Mountain Ridge in India. Although snow leopards live in harsh conditions, they are well adapted to their environment. Their small rounded ears, for example, minimize heat loss.
Learn more neat facts about the snow leopard and how Panthera is working to conserve this magnificent species through the Snow Leopard Conservation Program.

‘Tis the Season for Snow Leopard Cubs – A Video from the Field
Known as the ‘Roof of the World,’ the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan are situated at the intersection of several of Asia’s greatest mountain ranges, and fittingly may represent some of the richest habitat for ‘Asia’s Mountain Ghost’ – the elusive snow leopard.
Today, as many as 300 of the remaining 3,500-7,000 wild snow leopards are thought to live in the Tajik Pamirs – an area which provides a potentially critical link between the southern and northern regions of the snow leopard’s range, and may serve as a vital genetic corridor for the species.

Our photo of the day shows a snow leopard walking in the mountains of Ladakh, India. This image, taken with a camera trap set by Panthera’s Media Director, Steve Winter, captures the stealth of this big cat. With their camouflaged pelts and elusive nature, snow leopards are known to locals as mountain ghosts - rarely seen phantoms that are often only identifiable by their tracks frozen in the snow.
