Raising cubs is hard work, but it's also full of fun.
The five-month-old Snow Leopard cubs were bouncing around in the snowfield, following their not-so-reliable aunts.
The main focus was on learning to find caves and hunt Highland Rabbits and Ground squirrels for food.
The little guy had strong learning abilities, and his best Skill now was "digging rabbit burrows."
Because of his small size, he could easily come and go from the rabbit holes.
After eating, he even knew to pack up some snacks for his aunts.
Following consecutive days of sunshine, the accumulated snow on the wilderness ground had completely melted.
Exposed yellowed grass roots were attracting quite a number of even-toed ungulates to wander down from the mountains.
This area was wilderness, but the overall topography consisted of rolling hills. To the north lay the high mountain region.
