While the web is buzzing over Mac’s Snow Leopard, the original really needs our attention and remains the most inspiring of all:

Magnificent animal; amazing footage. I see no attribution: where does this footage come from, originally?

According to the youtube contributor, it’s from the mountains episode of Planet Earth.

The Snow Leopard is truly one of the most wonderful cats on the planet. I have the Planet Earth series in HD and it is an awesome series to own. This is among my absolute favorite scenes from the series. It is so sad to think that this cat’s population is dwindling, and it may not be too long before it goes extinct. I think we all need to consider the beauty of animals like this as a reminder to do what you can to help save endangered species while you still can!

I’m really digging Snow Leopard, but I have my fair share of qualms as well. No more cut and pasting Address Book contacts??? Check the rest out here:
