A wild snow leopard was caught on camera in a nature reserve in southwest China's Sichuan province, the reserve's administration said on Wednesday.
A camera
set up at an altitude of 4,096 meters spotted the rare snow leopard twice
earlier this month, the first finding of the snow leopard in the Fengyongzhai
National Nature Reserve.
The snow
leopard was roaming in a core panda habitat when caught on the camera, said a
chief ranger of the nature reserve.
More than
10 cameras were set up in the nature reserve last October in an initiative to
protect the snow leopards in Sichuan province.
The
findings will help add to knowledge of the precious species, said Deng Jiangyu,
a researcher at the reserve.
