In the enigmatic footage you’ll have to look twice, the snow leopard can be seen blending into its rocky surroundings and even the grassy plain as it stalks its prey.
In stunning pictures taken by Fabio Nodari, an Italian travel writer, the leopard can also be seen tucking into the feast – but can you spot it?
Fabio, 38, said: “The pictures and video were taken in China’s Sichuan province, a remote area that is home to many endangered species such as white-lipped deer and snow leopards.
“I was traveling with other photographers and we were lucky enough to spot a snow leopard a few days after arriving on location.
“Finding an area where a herd of blue sheep grazed peacefully on a mountain side helped locate a possible snow leopard hunting ground.”
Fabio, who currently lives in Yunnan, China, explained that people who saw the photos were shocked that he even managed to spot a snow leopard.
He added: “Many people are surprised that I’ve had the chance to see one in real life. They are extremely difficult to spot due to the remoteness of where they live and the fact that there are only a few thousand left.
“When it comes to spotting rare wildlife, the secret is to find a local guide who is familiar with the environment. In China, this is especially important as a guide will also help deal with the locals who are often suspicious of foreigners.”
Fabio added that he took the photos at a safe distance so that the animal would not be disturbed and advised everyone who wants to follow in his footsteps to have a lot of patience.
He said: “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the snow leopard.
“Seeing the hunting ground in real time, watching the snow leopard sneak, hide and try to get to its prey was the most amazing photographic experience of my life”.
