On November 26, an injured and blind 11-year-old wild snow leopard had its vision restored after vets removed its cataract in Sanjiangyuan nature reserve, Northwest China's Qinghai Province. It's the first time a snow leopard went through this procedure. During the three-hour operation, an intraocular lens was implanted after the cataract was removed.
