When it comes to wildlife photography, the Snow Leopard is almost unicorn-like. No, it’s not mythical, but it’s almost as hard to capture one of these infamous “gray ghosts of the Himalayas” on camera as it is to track down a creature that doesn’t actually exist.

A beautiful snow leopard, and its camouflage makes it almost impossible to spot among the rocks. just plain awesome...
To: goat granny
Yes, fascinating. When you find the snow leopard, its spots seem look different from the rocks in the background. Yet first you have to find it. It certainly blends in. The camouflage really works.

Thanks! Watching that series of photos, I imagine one could do a litmus test on personalities based on which animal you are rooting for!
Hope to see some spring photos from the swamp in the next few weeks(?) to give us northerners some hope.

I’m sure PETA will find some way to complain about the snowleopard’s actions, and probably sue, demanding he become a vegetarian. /s
