The camera trap has captured an entire series of images documenting this awkward dance between irritated cat and pesky bird. A flutter of feathers exposes the intruder to be a black-billed magpie, and it looks as though its next move may be a brave landing on the snow leopard’s tail. A blur flashes – the cat has been sufficiently disturbed and chases the mystery guest away. Small, black, and round, it presents an incongruous addition to the tableau before us. He buries his face in the insides of its abdomen, the skin already pulled apart to expose protruding ribs.Īnother head appears. We watch with bated breath as the snow leopard approaches the carcass killed several nights before. Behind him lies what remains of a two-year-old yak, lying limp on the ground, black fur matted where blood has been spilt and dried. His jaw is broad and strong, and I can tell that his eyes are deep amber even though he is looking away.
