We Went Inside a Snow Leopard Den I Cute Cubs in the Himalayas

↠ Want to get more insights? Check out our WE WENT INSIDE series: • We Went Inside
Snow leopards are rarely caught on camera. These elusive big cats live in some of the harshest environments on earth, in the mountains of South and Central Asia. Plus, there are only around 3,000 individuals left in the wild. It isn’t easy to film at an altitude of 5,000m, but our camera crew in the Himalayas did just that. Their footage of a snow leopard mom and her two cubs gives unique insights into these mysterious animals’ lives. Will the babies survive those crucial early months? Follow us to the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau to find out!

[@readwithhaziq]

I witnessed a snow leopard right before me, in Afghanistan. I can still recall being 14 years old at the time. It was a year of heavy snowfall, and due to the excessive snow in the mountains, they perhaps couldn't find enough food. As a result, they descended into the village and managed to get into a flock of sheep through a roof window. Regrettably, the villagers had to use a gun to shoot one of them. It was a heartbreaking incident, but it illustrates how people in that region rely on domestic animals for their survival.

Beautiful to learn a little bit about this type of leopard. And what a relief to see that the cubs and the mother made it 💗

[@terramater]

Hi Natasha! Right?! We were also very happy about it!

[@user-cx1gc8pd4i]

In fact, their closest relative is the tiger, not the leopard. They are white tigers with spots instead of stripes.

[@earthling_parth]

This gave me goosebumps! Many thanks and hugs to the camera crew along with the three shepherds who helped in getting these incredibly rare footage of some of the most elusive animals on Earth. The story narration was wonderful and I was jubilant after hearing the family was reunited and everyone was safe ❤️❤️❤️

[@terramater]

Hey Earthling, thanks so much for your kind words! 🥰 We will pass your feedback along to the film team and Kati. Have a nice day! 🤗

[@senadzri]

Usually sheepherders despised predators due to their long term conflicts of nature vs domestic. Them being cool enough to appreciate the snowy families as part of the ecosystems is highly commendable. Hope there's no natives that are pro-poachers.
