We just have to share this rare and amazing photograph of two wild snow leopards taken by a remote camera trap. It is as if they are performing a dance especially for us to watch. We often see agility, dance and play in snow leopards in zoos but this is the first time such a photograph has captured wild snow leopards and we congratulate the team at the Mongolia Snow Leopard Conservation Foundation and the Snow Leopard Trust who are doing long term camera trapping snow leopard conservation in the mountains of Mongolia.
