Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning visual and personal journey in search of the iconic big cat, the snow leopard. The snow leopard, known as the ghost of the mountains, is an elusive predator that has captured the human imagination for eons. Yet, by nature secretive, living at altitudes of up to 19,000 feet in one of the world's harshest environments, it is notoriously difficult to see. Those lucky enough to encounter one speak of the experience as momentous, transformative, even spiritual. In this handsomely illustrated, eloquent book, published in partnership with the Snow Leopard Conservancy, world-renowned wildlife photographers, naturalists, and conservationists take the reader closer than most humans will ever get to knowing snow leopards and understanding why these beautiful big cats have for so long been considered the most mysterious of all. More than 130 breathtaking photographs—all taken in the wild, and none with camera traps—accompany personal narratives and anecdotes that convey the experience of learning to see; the patient pursuit, following the tracks and other sign for a momentary glimpse; an unexpected encounter; watching the predator hunt; a magical moment with a mother and her cubs. A special "seek and find" section challenges readers to spot the snow leopard—to discern camouflage from rock and snow. The text also relates the natural history of the snow leopard, its cultural significance and place in lore, its interactions with local peoples, and information about its conservation. Royalties from the sales of Searching for the Snow Leopard support the Snow Leopard Conservancy and its programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Snow Leopard: Fun Facts and Amazing Photos about Snow Leopards When you say snow leopard, what's the first thing that comes to mind? You can probably picture a cat playing in the snow when someone says snow leopards. You may even already know about regular leopards; big cats with the circular patterns on their fur. That's great, because they can look almost exactly the same. Let's look closer at these beautiful creatures and learn more about them. Male adult snow leopards are usually bigger than the females. They have short front legs and long back legs that help them run fast. Because of the size of their legs, they can actually push themselves forward to up to 30 feet. That's about 30 pieces of 12 inch rulers laid flat in a single line! Snow leopards also have big paws that help them keep their bodies from sinking into the snow. That's a lot better than wearing snow shoes. And since they like to live in cold and snowy places, their long tail also helps them stay warm. They can curl it up around their body when they sleep, just like a furry scarf.

The Snow Leopard In 1973, Peter Matthiessen and field biologist George Schaller traveled high into the remote mountains of Nepal to study the Himalayan blue sheep and possibly glimpse the rare and beautiful snow leopard. Matthiessen, a student of Zen Buddhism, was also on a spiritual quest to find the Lama of Shey at the ancient shrine on Crystal Mountain. The result is a remarkable account of a journey both physical and spiritual, as the arduous climb yields to Matthiessen a deepening Buddhist understanding of reality, suffering, impermanence, and beauty.
