UNVERIFIED·Primary source · Mongabay
Snow leopards, common leopards, and Himalayan wolves coexist in Nepal's Lapchi Valley by targeting different prey.
Research based on six years of camera-trapping and fecal DNA analysis shows diet, rather than time or space, prevents conflict.
Climate change and habitat loss are identified as threats that could force these predators into competition.
