Viral Video Of Two Snow Leopards Effortlessly Leaping Mountain Will Amaze You

In a jaw-dropping display of remarkable agility, two snow leopards were caught on camera leaping from a mountain peak. The footage, shot from a considerable distance, shows predators leaping effortlessly and swiftly ascending the mountain, defying the laws of physics. The astounding video shared on X has taken social media by storm, leaving viewers in awe.

The clip was shared alongside the caption, “So, apparently the laws of physics do not apply to Snow Leopards.”

Snow leopards, often called the “Ghost of the Mountains,” are known for their agility and stealth. The elusive predator inhabits the rugged mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. The big cats thrive in elevated regions between 9,800 and 14,800 feet, such as the Himalayas, the Pamirs, and the Altai Mountains.

Meanwhile, India is home to around 718 snow leopards in the mountainous states of the country, as per the first-ever Snow Leopard Population Assessment in India (SPAI) carried out by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) over the last four years. At least 10 per cent of the global population of this elusive predator remains in India, which is among the most endangered wildlife species.

Ladakh recorded the highest estimate of approximately 477 snow leopards, followed by 124 in Uttarakhand and 51 in Himachal Pradesh. The Eastern Himalayan states of Arunachal Pradesh recorded around 36 snow leopards, followed by an estimate of 21 in Sikkim, while Jammu and Kashmir recorded only nine.
