New Snow Leopard Joins Long Term Study in Mongolia

In the evening of April 25th, PhD student and field researcher Orjan brought a new snow leopard into our long term collaring study. Called M8 for now, the male snow leopard weighs 34 kg and appears to be about two years old. Orjan thinks that M8 might be one of Supermom’s “cubs”, or perhaps previous cubs, but this is yet unconfirmed. With the addition of M8, we are now following 6 snow leopards using GPS radio collars and M8 is the 9th cat to be part of the study.
