Snow Leopard Sightings on the Top of the World
2005  Cat News (43): 19-20

Sightings of snow leopards Uncia uncia in the wild are rare. This is because snow leopards occur in low numbers and are very elusive (Schaller 1977). Snow leopards may be sparsely distributed, but they may not, however, be very elusive in the world's highest park, Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest) National Park (86ø 30' 53" E to 86ø 99' 08" E and 27ø 46' 19" N to 27ø 06' 45" N) in Nepal.
