Up close and personal with a snow leopard 😍🤯 Native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia, snow leopards (Panthera uncia) are notoriously shy and elusive. These cats are sure-footed climbers, using their long tails for balance and wide paws for traction in the snow. During summer months, they’ve even been spotted at altitudes of 6,000 meters! #EarthCapture by Philippe Matteini | BBC Earth

The king of... leopard! 🐆❄ In China’s Qinghai Province, a photographer filmed a close-up video of a snow leopard resting in Sanjiangyuan National Park. The photographer said he was lucky enough to spot this national first-class protected animal. The leopard was only about 400 meters away. So close! #Biodiversity | CGTN Global Watch
