What does the snow leopard say? I'm not sure, but it probably strikes terror into the hearts of mountain prey. The White Lion Foundation caught rare footage of a snow leopard calling out across the Himalayas in the Karakoram Mountains of northern Pakistan.
Dr John Knight said, ‘It is extremely unusual and special to be able to get such clear footage of a snow leopard vocalising in the wild, as they are by nature elusive and solitary, only coming together to mate and raise young. The adult male is exercising his vocal calls to establish territory and to let females know he is in the area’.As snow leopard are a vulnerable species, let's hope this caterwauling sounds like a Barry White song to the ladies of his territory.

It sounds like that teevee newswoman who fell off the grape-crushing platform and broke her arm.
