Josh Gates and his crew work on a series called Destination Truth, which follows reports of fantastic creatures...
So they have a television series to publicise?

told the BBC the first print was a "pristine" right paw mark, 33 cm (13 inches) long, with five toes in a wide spread of 25 cm.
Snow leopard? Endangered and rarely seen actually, so quite a sighting of its own (er, the animal more than the footprint).
