Seeing a wild Snow Leopard is every wildlife enthusiast’s dream, probably the ultimate and most elusive wildlife experience on the planet. Our Snow Leopard sat, quite Cheetah-like, before stalking off and once again rolling in the gravel, apparently an indication of the desire to mask its scent before a hunt.

And responsible hunting practices seldom pose a threat to birders’ quarry. Note, I said responsible hunting practices. Such is the case of the Saudi Arabian prince who, a few months back, took a hunting junket to Pakistan. During the three-week trip, he and his entourage killed 2,100 Houbara Bustards.

This was only my second time ever to observe this subspecies (the first time was here as well), two other subspecies I have observed in India. The only wildcat I found was illegally killed by hunters during closed season. They may have been disturbed by the presence of hunters in the Danube backwaters.

As visitors’ and the public’s interests expanded from the Big Five, and an appreciation for lesser mammals, birds and smaller wildlife has became more widespread, the term Little Five was coined.

Nate’s best was also a rarity in India. Second, I was in India, which, had you told me even one month prior that I’d be going to India, I would have said you were crazy. My fiance and I drove nearly two hours to the Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area in rural Indiana to watch them come in for the evening.
