With our field researchers settled back in at our Mongolian base camp, this field season is off to a great start. We are thrilled to welcome a new female into our long term ecological study! Orjan, a PhD student from Sweden reports on the event below:
“We caught a new cat yesterday. Finally all the money I have spent on books and courses on how to understand females are paying off. The cat weighed 29.8 kg and was of similar size as Tenger and Khashaa. I estimate her to be 3 years old (she could also be 2).”
We look forward to bringing you a photograph and more information on our newest member as soon as possible.
Great news for your long-term snow leopard study!
