Snow Leopard Beyond The Myth

Summary: In 2004 a team from the BBC's Planet Earth series filmed the first intimate images of a snow leopard, high in the mountains of Northern Pakistan.

The experience marked the beginning of a love affair with the snow leopard for Nisar Malik, a Pakistani journalist more at home covering the conflicts in Afghanistan than tracking wildlife. To help him he enlists the help of wildlife cameraman Mark Smith and together they set out to lift the veil on this most enigmatic of animals.
