Snow leopards are one of the most endangered species in the world but conservationists took up efforts to put an end to their decline.
Funded by National Geographic, researchers teamed with Afghan doctors to tag and release two snow leopards in the Afghan mountains.
The two felines were collared as the conservationists took measurements to learn how the leopards survived.
They were released and each traveled over 70 miles through the Hindu Kush mountains!
Poachers, environment destruction and more have dwindle their numbers but researchers hope their findings can help the snow leopard.
Let's hope so! We don't want to say goodbye to this majestic creatures!

Jack Hanna was spotted in New York City, hanging out with a gorgeous young leopard.
He was on his way into The Late Show with David Letterman at the Ed Sullivan Theater.
We wanna hang out with Jack because he has the coolest animal friends!
Just look at how cute and cuddly that leopard is, even though in about a year it'll be one big, deadly cat!
Jack is one brave/lucky man.

In India, a leopard literally snuck into someone's home and then attacked them!
Scary!
The men were severely injured and residents threw rocks at the leopard to try and chase it out of town.
Eventually animal control came and was able to tranquilize the animal.
Check out the above video to hear the full story.
Beware: There are some graphic images.
