Newly Collared Snow Leopard Officially Named "Khavar"

In the evening of April 25th, we placed a GPS collar on a male snow leopard who has been officially named “Khavar.” Khavar means Spring or Renewal in Mongolian and refers to the important time of year for herders when grass starts coming up and lambs are born. The name was chosen by long-time Trust supporters Paul and Donna Balle, and seems fitting for this young male (34kg) that Orjan thinks might be about two years old, and possibly even one of Supermom’s previous “cubs” (although this is yet unconfirmed).
