      Is 'the snow leopard' a book about mortality?

      Did scientists know about snow leopards?
      When Matthiessen and Schaller set out on their trip, scientists knew virtually nothing about snow leopards. There were no accurate range maps or long-term studies; although the cat had been described as far back as 1775, Matthiessen tells us that only two Westerners had seen a wild snow leopard in the previous twenty-five years.
