The newest member of our long-term study, a young female snow leopard, has been named. Initially known as F2, she has been named Zaraa, which means “hedgehog” in Mongolian. A furry, fluffy, and relatively small creature by snow leopard standards (she weighs 25 kg), her name is quite fitting. We’re very excited to learn more about Zaraa, her home range, and her habits, and compare the results with the data we’ve obtained from other snow leopards. Stay tuned for updates.

  1. Happy to see such a cute fluffy face add into the family and at last a female. Hopefully she sticks around and maybe next year we have cubs that would be great.
