On December 4, a half-year-old snow leopard was released into the wild by the staff of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Linzhou County, Lhasa City, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. The snow leopard was separated from its mother when it was born. It was found by local herdsmen and sent to the home of Tenzin Tajie, a public welfare wildlife conservator in Linzhou County, to foster. Here, the little snow leopard was carefully raised. It gradually grew up healthily and had the ability to survive in the wild.
