Pictured casually strolling across the face of a mountain in the Indian Himalayas, the endangered snow leopards are barely visible against a background of rock and shale. Taken by experienced wildlife photographer, David Jenkins, 41, the Irishman braved temperatures of -20 degrees in an effort to get a glimpse of the legendary creature.Picture: David Jenkins/Caters

But after two weeks enduring the harsh climates of the Indian Himalayas, Jenkins finally got a break in the form of a boy from a local village who had noticed blood on the coats of nearby sheep, a strong sign of snow leopard activity. After scurrying to gather their equipment, Jenkins and his team then tracked the leopards to a nearby location and even managed to snap the normally skittish animals looking incredibly relaxed.Picture: DAVID JENKINS/CATERS NEWS
