1 | Mongolia: Documenting Wild Snow Leopard Cubs | Mongolia: Mandinika Ireo Zanaka Sakadia An-dranomandry |
2 | Snow leopards are rare and very elusive. | Vitsy dia vitsy ary sarotra tratrarina ireo sakadia an-dranomandry. |
3 | A team of scientists from the Snow Leopard Trust has been conducting a long term study on the big cats and recently followed two female snow leopards, Anu and Lasya, and visited their dens in Mongolia's South Gobi after they gave birth to their cubs. | Nanao fanadihadiana lava momba ireo sakabe ireo ny vondrona manam-pahaizana avy ao amin'ny Snow Leopard Trust ary amin'izao fotoana izao dia manara-maso sakadia an-dranomandry vavy roa, Anu sy Lasya, ary nitsidika ny fonenan'izy ireo tany Gobi Atsimon'i Mongolia taorian'ny niterahan'izy ireo ny zanany. |
4 | Orjan and his colleagues, Sumbee Tomorsukh of Mongolia, Mattia Colombo of Italy, and Dr. Carol Esson of Australia (a licensed veterinarian) report their observations in their blog: | Mitatitra ny fandinihan'izy ireo ao amin'ny bilaoginy i Orjan sy ireo mpiara-miasa aminy, Sumbee Tomorsukh avy ao Mongolia, Mattia Colombo avy any Italia, ary ny Dr. Carol Esson avy any Aostralia (mpitsabo biby ara-dalĂ na): |
5 | On June 21st, 2012, our field team made a remarkable visit to the den sites of Anu and Lasya. | Ny 21 Jona 2012, nanao fitsidihana goavana tany amin'ireo tany fonenan'i Anu sy Lasya ny ekipanay any an-toerana. |
6 | These two females are part of our long-term ecological study and wear GPS tracking collars that help us identify their movements. | Isan'ireo fanadihadiana ekolojika mandritra ny fotoana lava ataonay ireo vavy roa ireo ary manana rojo GPS fanaraha-maso izay manampy anay mamantatra ny alehany. |
7 | With this data, we can learn critical information about snow leopard range, habitat and prey needs. | Miaraka amin'io rakitra io, afaka izahay mahazo fahalalana manan-danja be momba ny karazana misy ny sakadia an-dranomandry, ny fitoerany sy ny biby fihazany. |
8 | This allows us to better understand snow leopards and the threats they face, and make the most of our resources to protect these endangered cats. | Mamela anay hahatakatra bebe kokoa ireo sakadia an-dranomandry sy ny loza atrehan'izy ireo izany, ary hanao izay fara-herinay hiarovana ireo saka tadindonin-doza ireo. |
9 | In May, Anu and Lasya began to restrict their daily movements to smaller and smaller areas, which the team interpreted as a signal that both were preparing to give birth. | Tamin'ny Mey, nanomboka nametra ny fihetsiny andavanandro anatinĂ faritra mihakely dia mihakely i Anu sy Lasya, izay noraisin'io ekipa io ho famantarana fa samy niomana hiteraka izy roa ireo. |
10 | Traveling through steep and rocky mountain outcroppings, the team followed VHF signals transmitted by the collars and finally located the dens. | Namakivaky tendrombohitra mideza sy vatovatoina, nanaraka ireo onjam-pamantarana VHF avy amin'ireo rojo ireo ny ekipa ary nahita ny fitoeran'izy roa ihany tamin'ny farany. |
11 | The scientists also uploaded a short video of the two cute cubs to YouTube: | Nampiakatra lahatsary fohy momba ireo zana-tsaka roa mahafatifaty ireo ihany koa ireo manam-pahaizana ireo ao amin'ny YouTube: |
12 | They promise to update their observations and answer any audience questions in the comments section: | Nanome toky izy ireo fa hanavao ny fandinihany ary hamaly ireo fanontanian'ny mpijery anatin'ny faritra ho an'ny tsikera: |
13 | Thank you all so much for leaving comments, and asking about the mother's reaction to the smell of humans is very important. | Misaotra anareo rehetra namela tsikera, ary zavatra iray manan-danja be ny fanontaniana momba ny fihetseham-pon'ilay reniny noho ny fofon'olombelona. |
14 | After we went to the sites, we have been tracking the mom's locations via GPS and both have returned to their dens and are actively taking care of their cubs, so no worries there. :) | Taorian'ny nankanesanay tany an-toerana, nanara-maso ny toerana misy ilay reny avy amin'ny alalan'ny GPS izahay ary samy niverina tany amin'ny fonenany avy izy roa ary mikarakara tsy tapaka ny zanany, noho izany tsy misy tokony hatahorana ny aminy. |
