In May of 2004, I came across two snow leopards hunting a dzo (part cow part yak) while climbing Stok Kangri Glacier in Ladakh, India. Amazingly, the dzo was healthy and full-grown, weighing over six times as much as the leopards.

I recently made a very short doc that details the events (the extremely rare footage is included). It can be viewed at

Thanks for viewing.

    Thanks for the welcome and the feedback. I'm viewing the Discovery episode right now. Their footage is absolutely incredible.

    I should have put this video out in 2004. Still, not complaining about my experience. Really wish I had ime to mount the camera on the tripod though.
