"At least nobody here has said it is a rare picture, of an endangered animal, there are in fact considerably more Snow Leopards than Tigers it is just that they are in areas where not many people go. Just google Snow Leopard, I do not think the judges did they just believed what they were told"
according to the WWF there are between 3000 to 6000 snow leopards in the wild and according to the same source there are 5000 to 7500 tigers in the wild
Add inn the habitat and a photo of a snow leopard is much more elusive than a photo of a Tiger.
Most of the photos in print are of captive Snow leopards
The highly acclaimed documentary Planet Earth took an extremley long time to capture its footage of a Snow Leopard and almost gave up in its endeavors
I think Steves persitence and willingness to pursue this creature paid off with what i believe is the most stunning image of this creature to date
