2 injured snow leopard cubs rescued
Print Edition
Two injured snow leopard cubs are recovering after being rescued in Tibet Autonomous Region.
The felines, which are on China鈥檚 top protection list, will be released when they can survive in the wild, said their caretaker, Tangzhub Cering, with the forestry bureau of Biru County.
On October 22, a herder in Biru found the injured animals when his sheep and cattle were grazing. He brought the pair to the bureau.
The veteran wild animal rescuer cleaned the wounds of the cubs, which were three months old at the time, and fed them fresh beef and skim milk.
鈥淚n the first two days, they neither drank nor ate. I was very worried,鈥 he said.
Now the cubs also eat eggs and fodder, and their feeding costs have been covered by the local government. The pair was named Princess Snow Mountain and Prince Snow Mountain.
China is home to between 2,000 and 2,500 snow leopards in Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan and Inner Mongolia.
