PM shares rare footage of 'shy snow leopard' in GB mountains
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday shared footage of a snow leopard roaming and roaring over the snowy mountains in Khaplu area of Gilgit Baltistan.
“Rare footage of the shy snow leopard in Khaplu, GB,” prime minister captioned the footage on Twitter which showed the snow leopard under a cliff with snow all around.

Also called the “ghost of the mountains”, the snow leopards are shy and of elusive nature.
Moreover, the coloring of their coats makes them difficult to see against the snowy, rocky environment they live in. These cats are most active at dawn and dusk, which is called a “crepuscular activity pattern” by scientists.
