Scientists use clever trick to count ghosts of the mountains

Perfume sprayed near camera traps encouraged the elusive cats to expose their foreheads, allowing for individual identification via unique patterns. This method, detailed in a recent study, contributed to the 2019-2023 population assessment, revealing 718 snow leopards in India, with the highest concentration in Ladakh.
