Cats Currently On Air Currently, we have two snow leopards that are collared and on air. Vanishing Treasures of Kyrgyzstan F14 - The female called Gants Nudet (F14), or One-Eye, continues to roam throughout her home range since last year. Her home range is slightly smaller than the average size of an adult female. My First Trip to the Field M15 - The male M15, known as The Dude because he is the heaviest male collared to date, Nature Education in Ladakh During the Pandemic now has a stable home range after some territorial interactions with another male, M18, also known as Namar (meaning Autumn in Mongolian). They appear to have temporarily Pallas's Cats of the Gobi Desert settled the boundaries of their respective ranges in the Eastern part of the Tost Mountains. Namar, dropped his collar as expected - it was programmed to release in mid-May following our estimate of how long the battery would last. No snow leopard population anywhere in the world has been studied as extensively as that of Tost Mountains – and yet, these cats continue to hold many secrets.
