While snow leopards are found in the western Himalayas, the wild cats are seldom sighted. However, in what is being called a “rare sight”, the majestic big cat was spotted in Himachal Pradesh’s Spiti district.

A video of the sighting, which has now gone viral on social media, was shared by Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda. “Snow leopard is the most beautiful and mystical big cats with grey/green eyes, unlike the yellow eyes of other big cats. Tails as long as de body and 5inch fur at the bottom to survive cold weather. Rare to see these ghost of the mountain,” read the tweet.
