There are estimated to be as few as 4,000 Snow Leopards left in the wild. They live only in cold, high altitude regions but as the climate changes, warmer summers and less snowfall means that their mountain homes are changing faster than most places on Earth. Explore more of India's Wild Leopards during Big Cat Week this week. 📸 Sandesh Kadur | Felis Images | National Geographic UK

In winter, leopards patrol their territories, hunting prey like deer and monkeys. They rest in sunlit spots or dense foliage during the day, conserving energy, and remain active during the cool nights. #jimsjungleretreat #jimcorbettnationalpark #wildlifeconservation #junglesafari #jungleresort #wildlifeofindia #wildlifephotography #natgeo #natgeoyourlens #Creatures [Corbett National Park, Wildlife lodge in Corbett, Corbett Tiger Reserve, Bird-spotting in Corbett, Wildlife safaris in Corbett] | J
