Snow leopard's leg trapped in steel trap jaws captured in 'Heartbreaking footage'

Man made devices are 'one of many threats to this elusive big cat'

This heartbreaking footage shows a snow leopard limping in arctic conditions in Mongolia with a steel jaw trap clamped to its leg.

The video clip has been shared by WWF UK in a bid to raise awareness over the problems animals can face in the wild.

Filmed by a camera trap in 2013 the organisation fear the animal would have died as a result of its injuries and inability to hunt.
