While investigating snow leopard kill sites, we (@otocolobus) encountered two ~5 week old cubs at a secondary den site. Cubs were well hidden in a rock hollow beneath an overhanging Lonicera shrub.
Wonderful to stumble upon concrete signs of successful reproduction springing from Kyrgyzstan's continued commitment to meaningful snow leopard conservation.
Found by a neighbor early afternoon on Oct. 10, 2016, hanging out on an outside wall of an apartment building in (East) Oakland, CA 94605
