Hello,

In May of 2004, I had an encounter with two snow leopards hunting a dzo (part cow part yak) while climbing Stok Kangri Glacier in Ladakh, India. I went with my buddy Jigmet who off and on works for Wildeast Adventure.

When captured, this was the first of its kind: snow leopards hunting in the wild. And still to this day, I don't believe anyone has ever captured them hunting such a large animal. I certainly didn't expect to see leopards when we set out.

I recently made a very short documentary detailing the events, which can be sen at the following link:

Just thought I would share my adventure with you.

I clicked on the link you posted, but got this error:

The URL contained a malformed video ID.

Now that one worked. I've just seen your documentary and I have to say it's really good. I don't know much about documentaries, but I really enjoyed this one... You made it interesting enough to keep my attention at all times, and the editing is just really well done. The music and the voice over, everything works perfectly. Good job! ?;)?

Thanks for the kind comments. Admittedly, there is now better footage of snow leopards hunting in the wild, but this is all we had at the time. I really wished I had a monopod, and got there 10 minutes earlier, but no reason to complain. Thanks again.
