*A rare snow leopard at home in high alpine terrain* *King of the mountains* This snow leopard was captured “on film” when it triggered a remote camera-trap high on a ridge in Hemis National Park, northern India, as part of a new Planet Earth series soon to be presented on television by famous naturalist Sir David Attenborough. Thanks to a number of adaptations, snow leopards are able to survive higher altitudes than any other big cat. These majestic and elusive predators are rarely seen, but thanks to remote sensing technology, scientists are beginning to learn more about their secretive lives. When the first series of Planet Earth was made, it was the most expensive documentary ever broadcast, costing £20million and taking five years to put together. A decade later, the new series examines some more of the world's most incredible animals. Each episode will feature life in a different environment, from mountains, to islands, to jungles. *Sourced and adapted from article at MailOnline, UK. * -- -- USE INCREDIMAIL ONLY IN THIS GROUP NO NUDITY ALLOWED --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "fiftiesoldiesmusicgroup" group.
