There are many wild predators who have been so smart that they make themselves nearly impossible to be seen in their habitats; and these rare photographs of snow leopard are a proof.
Experienced wildlife photographer David Jenkins was so dedicated to capture these shots of barely visible predators that he had conquered temperatures of -20 degrees.
But after two weeks dealing with the freezing climates of the Indian Himalayas, David finally got the opportunity he had been waiting for. A local village boy told them he noticed some sheep running away and one had blood on it – a sign that a snow leopard had attacked them.
The team then hurried, packed up their equipment , and tracked down the leopard to a nearby site. Luckily, David was able to take a snap of the snow leopard who seemed so relaxed.
According to David, “the snow leopard was incredibly hard to spot, it’s the most difficult animal I have ever tried to photograph.”
The snow leopard has great camouflage that it blended perfectly into the background of the rocky mountain in Indian Himalayas.
If it’s really hard to spot, here’s the enlarged photo of the snow leopard for a clearer sight of the barely visible cat:
