Most probably the snow leopard stalked these herd for days and since they are domestic yaks which looks rather naive-the herd members, the snow leopard must have slowly crept forward keeping camouflaged and then launched the surprise attack, if these were wild yaks, they may have been alerted far quicker, and showed basic bovine threat display like snorting, stomping, thrashing and horning the ground etc. there are also cases of Himalayan black bear attacking and killing domestic yaks. Domestic bovines for the most part lacks the organised defense and understanding of threat when it comes to anti-predator tactics

Still when some animal with that big horns comes and starts to make attacks, that behavior of that snow leopard was quite interesting to watch. Partially luck to walk away from such situation unharmed. Also domestic animals have injured badly predators. Reply
