A picture of an elusive snow leopard on a night-time prowl has won the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2008 award.
The image was taken by Steve Winter, a photographer for National Geographic magazine, during a 13-month quest to capture a perfect image of the endangered species in its unforgiving habitat high in the mountains of central Asia.

Thank you, Margaret.
Now I can't resist the opportunity to put in a plug for the Snow Leopard Trust.

Mary Ann,
Don't resist anything. If it is a worthy animal cause, plug away.

Mary Ann....You can see the rest of the winning wildlife photo's( one is of a lion.) at the BBC NEWS website....
Margaret, thank you. I went to the BBC NEWS website and found the one of the young lion harassing the giraffe at the water hole, and I'm assuming that it is the one you are referring to.
Didn't Wade do a fantastic job on Mohini's 50th birhday tribute? Joe was looking all over the internet for others, and in the TV schedule, but there were none. At least she was not forgotten here.
"From palace to roadside zoo in less than 50 years." How sad.
