What can be more surprising than seeing this Ghost at night in her habitat. Last trip of Chopta was started with this encounter on the way to Chopta at 0106 hrs.
Grains in this photograph is un-avoidable as I had to boost ISO to 12800 and put my Nikon D500 a challenge to capture in the light of cars headlight only!!!.
I'm thankful to my driver Mukesh, without his support I couldn't have captured this memorable moment.
Exif data : 1/80 sec, f/8, 320 mm, ISO 12800
Nowhere near as sharp as I would have liked but was up against raindrops (lots of!) on glass...

The snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is a species of large cat in the genus Panthera of the family Felidae.
The species is native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because the global population is estimated to number fewer than 10,000 mature individuals and is expected to decline about 10% by 2040. It is mainly threatened by poaching and habitat destruction following infrastructural developments.
It inhabits alpine and subalpine zones at elevations of 3,000–4,500 m (9,800–14,800 ft), ranging from eastern Afghanistan, the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau to southern Siberia, Mongolia and western China.
6,000 views as of June 8th 2012. Thanks very much to everyone for taking an interest.

the Amur leopard, the rarest big cat in the world with only 30–40 animals left in the wild. The leopards at Twycross Zoo are part of a European endangered species captive breeding programme. In December 2006, twin cubs were born, both male. Unfortunately their mother died shortly after the birth due to illness, so the cubs were hand-reared.
On Wednesday 25th January 2012 Diesel, one of two male Amur leopards at Twycross Zoo, left on a transatlantic flight to America destined for Sedgwick County Zoo in Kansas as part of the worldwide breeding programme to save this magnificent species.

One of the few Amur Leopards left in the world! These are one of the most critically endangered big cats, with less then 35 left in the wild. They are hunted for their coats and their bones, which are used in the Traditional Chinese Medicine trade. I saw this handsome fella at Colchester Zoo when I went for my Christmas treat - a Keeper for the Day experience!
