Snow leopard

She's looking at the polar bear on display.

aren't you i know come on then well annie says hi everybody thanks sweetheart love you let's pop you down here there you go there we go right i do like it when annie joins the show randomly it's it's adorable and funny enough we're just getting up to the snow leopard part on here and she reminds me of a little snow leopard with a beard um okay yes so uh devil fish and shark were vehicles that have been named effectively by you know um by name or by bmac in interviews as well and the team again the 40th uh anniversary of the gi joe line is going to be all the entire retro run of course we know that as well uh but it's obviously on the teasers and leaks page because of that until we get more you know official images and what have you The snow leopard is the weird outlier here because this was something I picked up on when BMAC was, you know, just on the last couple of videos, like the official things, they've talked a few times about animal companions and snow leopard has come up now on two separate occasions out of the blue, uncontested, sort of like how cool would it be to have a snow leopard? So I think there's something in that.

So there you go.

Is Snow Leopard pre-mold for Max, asks Callister.

I think Max might be a little bit smaller than the Snow Leopard.

I think we've had this conversation before, haven't we? But no, I think they'd be kind of crazy to do something that wouldn't necessarily work in multiple ways.

But I kind of feel like Max as a bobcat would have to be smaller in stature, and a kind of leopard bigger cat would have to be a little larger in stature.

Like, I'm not just making it up.

And

we said, what's the kids team name? And he said, Snow Leopards.

We said, what are the adults team name? He said, Stinkers.

So we are buying the mesh jerseys that you got in PE so we can get the kids and the adults set up out there.

Will you please tell the viewers and listeners about this image?

Well, this is a young male snow leopard that we took in the Himalayas.

And this particular scene is absolutely my favorite.

I've been there a number of times and captured incredible images of snow leopards.

And this is snow leopard coming out of a hiding spot with a frozen waterfall behind it.

and this image shows you why these guys they're called the ghosts of the mountains or mountain ghosts is because even in this particular scene this guy is front and center he still merges into the background it's just they're so elusive so incredibly hard to see probably the most difficult big cat to photograph so this year we were very fortunate that we had a number of calves.

We got a pair, mating pair that we photographed for a while.

And this particular one was the closest I've ever been to a snow leopard.

Not as fierce hunters, but as creatures of remarkable rest and peaceful adaptation.

This is the story of how the great felines, lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars and snow leopards have evolved to find comfort and safety in their worlds.

From the gentle chuffing of snow leopards high in remote mountains, to the social warmth of lions resting together in prides, these animals offer us glimpses into the art of relaxation and contentment.

What we often forget is that even the most powerful predators spend the majority of their lives resting, sleeping and existing in quiet moments.

Science shows us that these patterns of rest and behaviour can be deeply soothing to observe and learn about.

Lions and tigers can roar, while other big cats make gentler sounds.

The big cat family is divided in its vocalizations by a curious anatomical feature.

Lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, and snow leopards each possess a U-shaped bone called the hyoid bone that sits behind the back of the tongue and runs up to the base of the skull.

I don't know.

On the East Coast, I thought it was called Snow Leopard because...

I like Snow Leopard better.

Yeah, because you're a little bit...

Because I'm not so prehistoric.

Then, suddenly, you notice a set of tracks ahead of you.

But what made them? A mountain goat? A wolf? Something from local legend, perhaps? Or could they belong to one of the world's most elusive big cats? the snow leopard.

The snow leopard is so perfectly adapted to this harsh, frozen landscape that it's rarely seen by human eyes.

For nearly two decades, Kulu Suryawantse has followed those tracks across some of the wildest places on Earth, trying to unlock the secrets of this remarkable animal.

In his new book, Ghost of the Mountains, Kulu reflects on his lifelong bond with the snow leopard and the delicate Himalayan landscape.

providing a unique perspective on both the hardships and the wonders of life at high altitude.

It's important to note that this conversation was recorded prior to the disaster in Nepal and Tibet and the events that followed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families, friends and loved ones of all of those affected by this terrible tragedy.

They were both mentioned in interviews.

Um, the shark popped up in the deep six, um, kind of reveal, um, um bmac stating that they could very well do the vehicle um with like a generic water trooper so that's definitely something that is probably on the cards and the devil fish has been named as well uh the 40th gi joe anniversary is obviously what's happening next year for retro And the last thing on the list is the Snow Leopard.

And I say...

I've put a random image of a Snow Leopard on there.

This was in sort of relation to BMAC out of nowhere dropping twice Snow Leopard.

Two different things entirely.

And the fact that that's been mentioned twice makes me think that he is definitely... doing a thing he's doing a thing to get people talking i think there's an animal companion snow leopard around the corner is all i'm saying um now that is everything for teasers and leaks that's everything for um the uh episodes and the news as uh as is now we're getting into some shout outs uh so let's do it and let's have an explosion and i can't believe i've done over two hours but i think there's a lot here Right, then let's bring this to a close.

Battle Action Force, the deluxe treasure editions.

Yeah, I reckon.

What about the Sydney Snow Leopards?

[laughs] Well, netball, you wanna be fast as...

That would be really cute jersey.

No, you don't know everything

...

the Sydney Snow Leopards.

No, no, because I like the Snow Leopards.
