Tso Moriri or Lake Moriri or Mountain Lake - is a lake in the Ladakhi part of the Changthang Plateau (literally: northern plains) in - Trans-Himalaya - Ladakh - Kashmir - India. 
The lake and surrounding area are protected as the Tso Moriri Wetland Conservation Reserve.

The lake is at an altitude of 4,522m (14,836 ft). It is the largest of the high altitude lakes entirely within India and entirely within Ladakh in this Trans-Himalayan biogeographic region. 
It is about 26 km (16 miles) north to south in length and 3 to 5 km (two to three miles) wide. The lake has no outlet at present and the water is brackish though not very perceptible to taste.

The lake is fed by springs and snow-melt from neighbouring mountains. Most water enters the lake in two major stream systems, one entering the lake from the north, the other from the southwest. (wikipedia) 

WONDERFUL FACTS - The strongest cat in the world… 
Jaguars have the strongest jaws of any of the cat species and can bite down with 2,000 pounds of force. This is enough to pierce turtle shells and easily crunch through bones. Their bite is twice as strong as the lion; in fact, the jaguar is second only to the hyena for strongest bite of all mammals. (5.Dec 15, 2014) 🐾   

Happy birding 🐧
