A rare snow leopard has been seen in Xinjiang in the northwest of China, near the border with Pakistan.

The leopard remained motionless for a moment next to a riverbed, long enough for soldiers who were on patrol to take pictures and film it. According to Ma Ming, an ecological expert in Xinjiang, it’s the first time a wild snow leopard has been captured on film at such a high altitude of 5,100 meters.

Snow leopards are rarer than giant pandas in China, and are under state protection. Ma Ming estimates this leopard was two or three years old.

據(jù)資料介紹，雪豹是一種比大熊貓還要稀少的動物，被稱為雪山之王，是國家一級保護動物，它已被列入國際瀕危野生動物紅皮書。目前全世界現(xiàn)存的雪豹主要在青藏高原和新疆的高山地帶，新疆雪豹數(shù)量占全世界雪豹總數(shù)的四分之一。國際野生生物保護學會的專家喬治·夏勒博士幾十年間足跡遍布中國新疆、青海、西藏等地，也只發(fā)出“只見皮子，不見雪豹”的感慨。
