“Spectacular camera work!! And surreal performance by the Snow leopard if this is real,” a comment read.

A user wrote, “He must have been without food for a long time, in my opinion – he was like: ‘Now or never’.”

Another comment read, “The snow leopard’s display of agility and precision, effortlessly leaping from a daunting 197-foot cliff to claim its prey, is a testament to both its supreme strength and its keen hunting instincts. Such extraordinary feats of nature never cease to astonish, reminding us of the remarkable adaptations and sheer brilliance of the animal kingdom. Truly, a mesmerising sight to behold.”

Snow leopards are known for their impressive speed and agility, especially in their mountainous habitats. While exact speeds can vary, it’s estimated that snow leopards can reach speeds of up to 64 kilometers per hour in short bursts. This speed, combined with their exceptional leaping abilities and stealthy hunting techniques, allows them to navigate the challenging terrains of rocky slopes and steep cliffs with remarkable efficiency. Their swift movements make them effective predators, enabling them to surprise and catch their prey in the rugged landscapes they inhabit.
