The chick falling down the cliff was one of the most heartbreaking scenes in my life
Edit:Many thanks to the brilliant team of National Geographic and all those ppl who liked my comment 💗💗💗

That fall of snow leopard was insane. And not letting go. Such resilience. What a machine

[SoothingRelaxation-jnlf]

I was genuinely glad to see the snow leopard was ok after that hunt. That fall was an insane thing to witness & looked incredible on camera of course but it must've hurt really bad. This was a great documentary.

That snow leopard is an absolute tank. What an incredible cat.

I am 67 years old, and yet, with all of the animal and nature documentaries I have seen - and they're many, this is one of the greatest ever. This super cat never gave up. Our intrepid snow leopard finally found his prey, his food and his lovely lassie...and to top it all off, a new family to share life, love, hardship and adventure in the mountains on top of the world 🌍!

The snow leopard @44:00mins, was a beast move. You can always tell when one animal is on the verge of starvation. Way to go buddy, 200' drop & he never let it go. That's top-notch in my book!

[avereus]

It will be really hard to imagine this world without these animals please let’s protect each and every creature or living beings of this planet.

The 1st scene with the snow leopard chasing his prey is a doozy. I wasn't expecting it turn out the way it did. The photographer who captured it deserves an award.

[livedeliciously]

The Snow Leopard hunting that goat is one of the best wildlife scenes I've ever seen. All of this was incredible.

[nhumotcongio]

The scene the chicks fall down stunning like in a movies, but heart breaking :(

[johannawooldridge]

[ToddlerTv]

This is some premium level stuff . Hats of camera men, hats off editors, hats off the narrator for providing us with a such feisty mountain life documentary . ❤

[kennyjean]

Wth, the chicks part is so effin’ brutal 🥺🥺😭😭😭 (i wasn’t expecting that much jaw-dropping moments right off the start 😅)

[Naturaldisasters]

Completely agree! Animals show us the purest forms of life and love. They deserve our utmost respect and protection.❤

[carguy]

Imagine surviving a 400 foot fall to just get eaten by another bird

[vibhasvnaik]

I am not sure what I am more impressed by. The visuals or the efforts put in by the Nat geo team to capture these visuals or the animals themselves which find a way to survive in such hostile conditions. It's truly awe-inspiring!

[WhisperedDelightsASMR]

I’ve never been so emotionally invested in a nature doc before. 😧
