If anyone thinks life as a wild snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is easy, think again! You absolutely must watch this Facebook video of a snow leopard chasing what appears to be a wild sheep down a mountain.
While the footage is grainy and contains no sound, it is the most spectacular video you might ever see. It shows the snow leopard and sheep literally falling down the mountain, plummeting from what look like at least 50 ft (15.2 metres) drops, as they wrestle for survival.
This is the sickest and most incredible video I have ever seen. Mad respect to snow leopards, who have to take extraordinary risks just to eat! The least that we humans can do is to try to avoid making their lives even harder than they already are.
Here is the video!
Did the leopard die? It had to be terribly injured at the least.

Here’s a comment from someone who was there:
In case the above link doesn’t work, here’s what the comment says:
“I was there when this happened! But sadly I was still struggling to find the leopard in my frame so I missed it :( Crazy experience, nonetheless. The leopard did get hurt, I could see a big red wound on one shoulder. No idea if it survived later.”

😞 I couldn’t see the video…
It’s probably coz I don’t have a FB account…
Well then I’ll just have to work with my imagination here.
