Hi all,

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:

Feedback would be appreciated.

My browser won't let me watch it... says it's a malformed video id.  Do you have a video name to search under, maybe?

I had the same problem, here it is http://uk.youtube.co...h?v=zVJxupw-2m4
Smoked for 25 years but now not smoked since 13th Jan. Am I now a non smoker, a smoker who doesn't smoke or an ex smoker? Do I have to even have a title, can I not just be a 'me'? Has not smoking made me crazy?, probably!
