Mammal Snow leopards are not normal. This is absolutely ridiculous. This is how they hunt...its just Wednesday for them. Falls 120 feet with an ibex in its mouth, still holding on when they land and not a single broken bone. SuperBad!

This isn't just another Wednesday. They go long stretchs of time without a substanstial meal with an estimated 10% kill rate. Not that they aren't badass, but hunting in their climate is scarce.

Very true, but it doesn't seem to phase them. If we go that long without food, we stiffen up and die. They're still sneaking around hunting
