Natural World: Snow Leopard — Beyond the Myth

In 2004, a team from the BBC’s Planet Earth series captured the first ever film of a wild snow leopard in the mountains of Pakistan. For Nisar Malik, who led the expedition, those images sparked a passion that compelled him to return. With cameraman Mark Smith, he spent two years documenting the snow leopard’s daily life, finally lifting the veil on the most elusive of all cats.
