CCTV News: In recent years, with the establishment of Sanjiangyuan National Park, the efforts to protect the ecological environment have been continuously strengthened. The population and quantity of animals in the national park have significantly increased, and the number of wild animals exposed to the public eye is also increasing. Especially for rare animals such as snow leopards and money leopards, the Ansai Grand Canyon in Sanjiangyuan National Park has become an important habitat for them. Next, let's follow the reporter's camera to take a look.
Snow leopard is the most exciting word in the Ansai Grand Canyon, which is one of the easiest areas in China to witness snow leopards. As the mysterious "king of the plateau," snow leopards have extremely excellent protective colors. In a stable ecological chain, each snow leopard corresponds to hundreds of herbivorous animals such as rock sheep and white lipped deer, all of which are delicacies of snow leopards.

In addition to the snow leopard, the money leopard also ranks at the top of the food chain. Ansai is one of the few areas where the coexistence of leopards and snow leopards has been discovered. They both occur in coniferous forests, alpine shrubs, or alpine meadows at an altitude of around 4000 meters, which also proves the integrity of the Ansai ecosystem.
From the infrared camera screen, it can be seen that this leopard is standing in front of the camera, as if particularly interested in the infrared camera placed by the caretaker. Snow leopards mainly feed on rock sheep, while money leopards prefer white lipped deer in the forest and occasional musk deer. In areas with abundant food, the range of activities of the leopard is relatively fixed; When food is scarce, they will wander dozens of kilometers in search of food.

Not only that, Sanjiangyuan National Park is also a home for various wild animals such as lynx and rabbit monkeys. Here, there are groups of wild Tibetan donkeys running recklessly, golden eagles standing on the mountainside basking in the sun ready to hunt at any time, black necked cranes playing and foraging after heavy snow, and brown bear mothers leisurely strolling with their children... As the core area of Sanjiangyuan National Park, this place nurtures numerous coexisting plateau elves.
