Snow leopard camera trap thief
Loading...
Uploaded by FaunaFloraIntl on Jan 26, 2012
The mysterious snow leopard is a beautiful and charismatic animal, found in the remote mountainous regions of Central Asia.
In a bid to learn more about the behaviour and distribution of this Endangered animal in Tajikistan, scientists from Fauna & Flora International and Panthera set up 11 automatic cameras in the remote Zorkul nature reserve.
They were in luck. Over the survey period, the cameras photographed five separate snow leopards living in one valley system, including a family with two cubs.
The team was perplexed however to find that one of the cameras had gone missing. But the culprit was quickly discovered -- when the images were downloaded, the paired camera showed the cheeky cubs carrying it off!
