No wonder they’re endangered.

Ummm...that is a hard way to make a living.
Exactly what I was thinking watching this. A hate standing in line to get fed, but I’ll be a sonuvabitch if I’ll throw me and supper over a freakin cliff to avoid the wait!  Great video. Thanks for posting! 7mm

Incredible focus from that cat. Notice how it moved to clamp onto the prey’s throat to suffocate it. All while falling, twisting and bouncing off rocks. Incredible!

How'd you like to be the guy/girl that filmed it? Probably many thousands of hours were spent pursuing that video moment. Amazing.

Terrific video. I learned when climbing that when you look straight on at a mountain side it appears to be vertical. But when you actually get onto the face it's not too steep. Sort of like climbing a set of stairs. But that first fall looked like it was dead vertical.
I was surprised by how quickly the snow leopard closed the distance between himself and the goat. I was also impressed by the fact that even while falling the cat was able to switch his grip from the legs to the head/throat. Pretty impressive animal.
I get the idea that just seeing a snow leopard is a rare experience, not to mention seeing one in the process of making a kill. Wow!
Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.

Harder to land on your feet when you have a sheep in your mouth.

Now...am I the only one that is wondering how it would look as a rug?
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
