There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

@Styx38, not only horses, snow leopards also prey upon Kiang or Tibetan wild ass (largest wild ass) throughout their shared range. These animals can weigh close to 450 kilos as well.

Whereas in Eastern Himalayas, snow leopards and tigers prey upon Takin (mostly Bhutan, Mishmi and Red takin) which can also weigh upto 400 kilos. Takin are unknown outside their range.

Anecdotally, there are stories of snow leopards attacking wild yaks from Mongolia which are significantly bigger than domesticated yaks. A person I spoke to also said there were some legends of the ghost aka snow leopard attacking a Bactrian Camel!!!

Personally speaking, they are easily the most spellbinding big cat considering where they live and the extreme things they have to do to find food (look at that video of a snow leopard tumbling more than 150 foot with a blue sheep) and mate.
