In her defense, this is only the third recorded attack by a snow leopard ever, and the first without extenuating circumstances (one previous attacker was rabid and the other was toothless and desperate).

Not that I think she knew that, but I do and I'd probably have been mauled right alongside her (snow leopards are my favorite animal and I make poor choices).
