This Snow Leopard is one tough cat.

Of course, no telling if there were internal injuries and how long either one lived. Is that video an allegory for how chasing poon can end up driving some guys to marry horrible women?

A friend said he saw the original documentary and apparently the cat was back hunting a couple of days later.

Wow, that's impressive. The will to eat and survive vs. the will to escape and survive, especially in a harsh terrain and climate like that.
It's not easy livin' in the mountains, and it makes animals, and people, tough.

Off topic but I saw a Bobcat in my back walkway the other day! Going to get the mail and right by the mailbox there it was, I thought man that’s a huge cat, then saw the toufts (sp?) of hair on the ears and knew it was a Bobcat.
It started walking towards me (about 10 feet away) and I just extended both arms wide to look big and it walked away. Told my sons and wife as I was giddy; I’ve never seen one in the wild (years in the mountains) let alone in my hood, a rare sight that made my month. Now back to the thread

That's a female snow leopard that none of the boy snow leopards should mess with.

During deer season here in WI my cousin was in a stand with his young kids watching a yearling and a bobcat sprang out of the woods and killed it. He said 5-7 seconds and it was all over. His kids had been playing in that spot hours before.
