Hello there.
Tara here. I must say, without the blue sheep, or bharal as they are commonly called here, as easy prey, there isn't much to catch. Small pikas and hares now and then. I'm being careful not to exhaust the number of prey here. Yesterday I was lucky; I caught a chukor partridge!
I'm just glad I'm surviving. Its been a few days since we arrived here. Usually, it would be time to move again for another home within the territory but I think I should stay here for a while and let the cubs get familiar with the area.
The cold winds bring with them stories of fellow leopards. Scary stories come from both east and west, north and south. It is like the leopards have nowhere else to go. I can't stay here forever, and I don't feel comfortable taking my cubs to where my territory overlaps with that of other leopards. Thw winds tell stories of how snow leopards cannot have that vast and large territories anymore. What now? What can I do that's best for my cubs?
