Capturing The Rare Snow Leopard On Camera | BBC Earth

Since then, they've been filmed more often, but still remain one of the most elusive animals in the world. Notoriously difficult to find and track, go behind the scenes and discover what it takes to find and film one of the rarest big cats.

These videos really put me in a tough spot. I never want to see the prey harmed, but at the same time, I don’t want the predators to go hungry. The challenges of being an animal lover.
