  1. Ten samples, which were snow leopard positive on species PCR identification, successfully amplified across all 6 microsatellite loci. There were two samples from Shey area of SPNP that had complete match across all 6 microsatellite loci and were identified as samples from the same individual. A total of 9 snow leopards were identified from SPNP and KCA.
