A very striking photo of a snowleopard gazing at mountains in India has won the People’s Choice Wildlife Photographer Award.
No less than 60,466 people voted for this spectacular photo named World of the snow leopard taken by the German photographer Sascha Fonseca, who won this prestigious contest.
To capture this rarely captured big cat, where he is seen watching the sunset in front of the mountains of Ladakh, Fonseca used a “camera trap”.
