🔺 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 : Researchers estimate that there are between 700-718 snow leopards in India. A nationwide snow leopard population assessment to provide a better assessment is underway. They are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN-World Conservation Union’s Red List of the Threatened Species Listed as Schedule I species as per Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Snow leopards are considered medium-sized cats standing about 24 inches at the shoulder and weighing around 30-55kg. Their exquisite, smoky-grey fur is patterned with dark-grey to black rosettes which helps to camouflage them against rocky slopes. The species usually mate between January and March, a time when both sexes mark their territories intensively leaving signs such as scrapes, faeces, urine and scent-spray in prominent locations along their travel routes. The animal is most active at dawn and dusk. Like most species of cats, snow leopards are solitary animals, though sometimes male and female pairs might be seen together during mating season. Snow leopards are primarily crepuscular, meaning that they are most active during dawn and dusk. They are capable of killing animals more than three to four times their own weight. Snow leopards are found in the northern Himalayan Mountain range in India, including the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh. They are also found in the Union Territories of Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir..Photographer - Sagar Gosavi sir.Tags - Snow leopards , panthera uncia ,wildlife of Odisha , Odisha Wild animals .#snowleopard #pantherauncia #bigcats #lion #wildlifeodisha #odishawildlife by @odisha.wildlife

The king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the world's longest venomous snake, capable of reaching lengths up to 5.6 to 5.85 metres (18 to 19.2 feet). Widely distributed across South and Southeast Asia, this apex reptile is renowned for its fearsome defensive posture, remarkable intelligence, and specialized diet. Despite its common name, the king cobra is not a "true" cobra belonging to the genus Naja; instead, it occupies its own unique genus, Ophiophagus, which translates literally to "snake-eater".#snake #reptile #wildlife #ᴇxᴘʟᴏʀᴇᴘᴀɢᴇ #odisha by @odisha.wildlife

Youth killed 10 harmless snakes and posted on social media as an achievement. A man from Odisha’s Kandhamal district has drawn intense social media attention and severe backlash after publishing a video where he proudly boasts about killing 10 snakes at once, claiming it to be an unprecedented record. In the viral footage, two individuals are seen standing in a rural field, with one holding a wooden stick draped with the carcasses of numerous snakes dangling vertically. Under India’s Wildlife Protection Act, killing snakes is a strict criminal offense punishable by heavy fines and imprisonment. Wildlife activists and local authorities are being urged to investigate the video, locate the individuals involved, and take swift legal action against the illegal slaughter of these reptiles. Here the snakes are used for views! Video Courtesy - @kandhamala_raider_02 .
