Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Mongolia's rugged mountains, this book explores the elusive snow leopard, often referred to as "The Ghost of the Mountain." With their stunning spotted coats, these majestic cats are masters of camouflage, making them nearly invisible in their high-altitude habitat. The narrative delves into their unique adaptations, such as their long tails for balance and incredible hunting prowess, allowing them to tackle prey much larger than themselves. The challenges of studying these mysterious creatures in such harsh conditions are also highlighted.
