An injured snow leopard cub, which is rescued one year ago from Morang, is seen inside its enclosure at the Central Zoo in Jawalakhel, Lalitpur, on November 13, 2025. Snow leopards are typically found at elevations above 2,500 meters, but this one is discovered in the Tarai lowlands at just 150 meters -- a rare occurrence of high-elevation species found in lowland regions. Similar cases are reported in Mongolia and Russia, where snow leopards and Himalayan wolves are recorded around 500 meters.

Views of the surrounding high-alpine landscape near Sperry Chalet in Glacier National Park, Montana, United States, on September 7, 2025, highlight expansive valley vistas, jagged cliffs, and lingering Canadian wildfire smoke during peak fire season. Much of the forest in the basin below still shows the impact of the 2017 Sprague Fire, with a mix of charred snags and new growth. The area remains accessible by trail or horseback, and native vegetation such as elderberry bushes flourishes among rocky slopes. These scenes underscore both the beauty and fragility of Glacier's wilderness around one of its most iconic backcountry lodges.
