“Big Orange Cat” breaks into the glacier scenic spot? Staff members of the Dagu Glacier Conservation Area in Sichuan were recently surprised to find that the “Desert Cat”, a national first-level key conservation wild animal in mainland China, was photographed by an infrared camera in the Haducuo and Changdegou areas. This was also the first time it was photographed in the Dagu Glacier Scenic Area. Wild desert cats, images are very rare.
