Snow Leopard: Beyond the Myth (2008)
A secret cave deep within the mountains of Pakistan is one of the last refuges of the snow leopard - the rarest and most beautiful of all the big cats. Journalist Nisar Malik has decided to use his news skills to help promote and protect this highly endangered species. Each year generations of snow leopards have returned to the mountains to raise their young. Harsh seasons force this predator and its prey to the lower reaches of the valleys where Nisar follows their hunting, feeding and mating behaviours. For Nisar, this is a journey of discovery in which he finds beauty and peace in a place that he previously portrayed as dangerous and evil. For the viewer, the film offers a journey into a misrepresented and unknown part of the world.

Bruh these leopards are insanely beautiful
*leopards are a stunning blend of power, grace, and beauty. Their distinctive rosette-patterned coat, powerful build, and captivating eyes make them one of nature's most aesthetically pleasing creatures. But their beauty extends beyond their physical attributes. Their agility, adaptability, and the intricate social structures they maintain add another dimension to their allure.*

Their eyes look so intelligent too.
They're either the most badass or the cutest looking cats, depends on what they're doing.
Help them don't kill them! The most amazing animal on this planet!
*Absolutely, every creature, including these magnificent snow leopards, plays a vital role in biodiversity and deserves our respect and protection. Their survival challenges highlight the importance of conservation efforts. It's crucial that we work to preserve their habitats, combat poaching, and raise awareness about their plight.*
Exactly! It pisses me off. People need to learn the importance of keeping all of these animals alive. Kill them off and you throw off the ecosystem and nature. Each animal balances out the other. I don't understand why they don't build gates, or somehow their governments help the people if they lose livestock.
@@karinajas You need to take into account their perspective. This is their livelyhoods and food supply. If she kills his livestock, then he and his family will starve. As for gates, they stop nothing. When a hungry leopard knows there's an easy meal, it'll stop at nothing to get it. Just look at wild Cougar attacks in the US and killing people's dogs. And to be frank; these governments are too poor to pay every herder that loses a goat, and frankly tell their people to take matters into their own hands. Conservation is an idea born from the West, and is easy to believe in when your life isn't directly effected by it.
@@tetchedDesert0 The cougar attacks is mostly when people leave their dogs out which again, people know they should NOT do. I get it is those people's livelihoods, but again, they kill off those animals that are already becoming extinct then they end up with another huge problem which would be their very own livestock. Most of those governments just like ours are not too poor, they are just too greedy, don't care, and keep the riches to themselves.
@@karinajas grow up kiddo is the world here not everything gotta be animals focus on the real world rather then focusing on some animals 🤣
Their tails are just rightly fluffy and big 😂😂
*Indeed, the fluffy and large tails of snow leopards are a fantastic adaptation to their cold, mountainous habitats. Not only do these tails help them maintain balance while navigating steep and rugged terrains, but they also serve as warm, cozy blankets to wrap around their bodies during harsh winters*
@@wintvusa86 that sounds even more cute 🥰
The snow leopard is such an elegant animal man.
*the snow leopard is a model of elegance and grace. With its thick, patterned coat, piercing eyes, and powerful, agile body, it's a breathtaking sight in the stark, snowy landscapes it calls home. The way it effortlessly navigates the challenging high-altitude terrain further adds to its elegance*
It’s such a precious sight to see the ghosts of the mountains!🥰 So beautiful and fluffy!😆
The way they effortlessly navigate the rugged and snowy terrains of high-altitude habitats is truly a sight to behold.
I always get mesmerized by the snow leopards beauty and elegance. A truly extraordinary animal!

Most valuable species on the planet.

It is to keep them in balance in mountain terrain

Such long tails and kind of chubby lol cute kitties
No one can be a better teacher than one's own mother. This applies to all mothers, both human & animals. 😊💜
They provide protection, nourishment, and crucial life lessons. In many animal species, mothers teach their young how to find food, avoid predators, and navigate their environment.

I love snow leopards 🖤
Snow leopard such a great hunter.. 😻🔥

SO graceful and acrobatic.
They are adorable ❤
The most beautiful of the cats imo. Id love to snuggle up with one on a cold night, if it wouldnt try to eat me...
*Your comment brings a smile! Snow leopards, with their thick, plush coats and majestic stature, are indeed among the most beautiful of the cat family. While the idea of snuggling with one might seem appealing, it's important to remember they are wild predators.*

*Indeed, observing a snow leopard cub learning from its mother is a testament to the intricate learning processes in the animal kingdom. These moments offer invaluable insights into how survival skills are passed down generations. From hunting techniques to navigating treacherous mountain terrains, every lesson is crucial for the cub's survival.*
Why did you have to put it in bold tho
If they aren't the most beautiful animals in the universe what is?

Tão belos e pragmáticos leopardos das neves!! A luta pela dura sobrevivência!!
It’s because of people like you, that give us humans insight into the ever-elusive snow leopard’s lives. You educate and teach us so that we can go forward with the information and understanding of why we need to protect them. 🙏 I thank you for every millisecond of film you were able to capture of the snow leopards. They’re my favorite animal because of y’all. I know it’s not easy to hike up there, track, sleep, wait, watch, and film. But you do it and I appreciate you! 🏔️🎥 🎞️ 🐆🩶
So beautiful 😮
I think they are very intelligent than other cats
Thanks BBC earth 👍
These beautiful Snow leopards are in Gilgit Baltistan Region of Pakistan.....❤
One of the fables of Aesop! A bird (black-bilked magpie) & a big cat make a deal ...

House-cat, however big.
He could share one goat/sheep with a leopard.
#A very good video Not easy to make . ---- Keep it up. Thanks !
❤
Looks like a normal cat tbh
Heard of *Tai lung?*
Is this old upscaled footage? It's very pixelated
How would these beautiful animals called when the snow is gone?😢😮
Mountain leopard 😅
😊😊😊🙏🙏
What's up with the subtitles?
🌹 🌹
Leopard didnt kill and ate woman even if she was unconscious.
May the Lord protect nature in the person of the Irbis and all its defenders.
So times changes leopard learn to Cambridge university ....
*It seems like you're making a playful comparison between leopards' adaptability and learning at a prestigious institution like Cambridge University! Just like students acquiring knowledge, leopards indeed learn and adapt to their environment in remarkable ways. Their skills in hunting, navigating rugged terrain, and raising their young showcase their inherent 'wisdom.' So, in a way, nature's harsh but effective 'university' has been educating leopards for millennia!*

Why this channel is not showing the country name . What is the country name
It's the northern region of Pakistan a.k.a Himalayas of Pakistan as the mountain range of Himalayas extend to India, China, Afghanistan, Bhutan and a few more. Plus the language they're speaking is Urdu, which is the national language of Pakistan. Plus, the wild Markhor (the prey which the leopard was taking to its cub) are found mostly in these northern parts of Pakistan and is also the national animal of Pakistan.

I thought I was the only one who caught that! *Its !
*A snow leopard cub's survival in the wild greatly depends on its ability to hunt. The mother snow leopard starts teaching her cub to hunt when it's about two months old. Initially, the mother catches small prey and brings it to the cub,*
