Zaraa, the most recent addition to our long term collaring study, has finally been photographed! Her name, meaning “hedgehog” in Mongolian, is perfect for this small and fluffy young snow leopard. She is the second female to be collared since the start of this program, but the first female slipped her collar within days, making it impossible to collect any data. We have high hopes that Zaraa will give us the insight into the life of a female snow leopard we need to create effective conservation decisions in her home range.

She is stunningly beautiful. Let’s hope and pray the Snow Leopard Trust will be succussful in putting another collar on her and that it won’t slip off. God bless you Zaraa!
