The den sites of female snow leopards and
their cubs have been captured on tape for the first time.
The animals were located in Mongolia's Tost
Mountains, with the first known videos taken of a mother and cubs recorded
recorded by scientists from Panthera, a wild cat conservation group, and the
Snow Leopard Trust.

Because of the snow leopard's secretive and
elusive nature, coupled with the extreme and treacherous landscape which they
inhabit, dens have been extremely difficult to locate.
A short video of the female and her cub who
were bedded down in a partially man-made den was recorded from a safe distance
by Orjan Johansson, Panthera's snow leopard field scientist, using a camera
fixed to an extended pole.
TCC- Awesome and such a beautiful animal.
