Its actions successfully saved Aleksey's colleague, but it enraged the brown bear.
Little Altai, during its agile evasions, accidentally fell from the tree and rolled down the cliff.
The brown bear lingered at the cliff's edge for two to three hours before leaving.
After it left, Aleksey and his colleague figured out a way to get down to the base of the cliff, only to discover snow leopard tracks in the vicinity.
Based on their previous survey results, they analyzed that snow leopards rarely venture to such a high altitude. However, there had been infrared cameras capturing snow leopards near a ski resort not far from there before, leading them to deduce that the snow leopard population may have increased, expanding their territory simultaneously.
Additionally, traces of a weasel bear were found at the base of the cliff.
Despite the weasel bear's relatively small size, its nature isn't a gentle variety.
