Rare footage of snow leopard recorded in northwest China

Footage shows a snow leopard in the mountains of Qinghai Province, China. The images were captured on infrared cameras by wildlife photographer Matse Rangja, who has only managed to film the leopard once before in eight years. Snow leopards are rarely seen by humans and are listed on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's red list of threatened species


Video at link. Sorry I don't know how to make it show here on DU. But it is well worth the very short watch.
