"Snow Leopard Catching Machine"
Researcher catches (and quickly releases) more elusive snow leopards than any other.
"Two hours after being detained in our world the snow leopard melted back to her own, having received the antidote...she weighed 79lb, her body was 45in long and her tail 38½in. Her age was put at between four and six, she had suckled, though not recently, and the data now being sent back by her collar will be of untold benefit to the long-term conservation of this beleaguered species." [The Telegraph]
"Courtesy of this tail the snow leopard in motion is as finely balanced as a gyroscope, and as stealthy as mist. Dr Sharma showed me footage of one walking. Inadvertently it sets a stone rolling with one paw, and in the same movement bats the stone to a standstill so as not to make the slightest noise."
