Identifying Snow Leopards

Orjan’s not back at base camp yet, but he is preparing to return and should be there before the end of January. A little while ago, we asked him how he uses the trap cameras to ID individual cats:

You asked earlier how we identify them. All the cats have a number of “high profile spots” that are easily recognized. Eureka has a long belt on the back that I have tried to circle on the picture and Inquisitive has a spot that looks like a “Mickey Mouse face.” These spots are good guides, if I find any of them, I start looking for other spots to make a certain identification.
