Does she defend the claim, that she really saw a snow leopard in the mountains in the full article / website text?

Edit: Read the disclaimer myself. She seems to defent seeing a snow leopard, as she also has a picture of its paw up in the same collection. Make of that, as you will.

Worded vaguely enough for plausible deniability, like the rest of the text on that page. She never mentions seeing or photographing a snow leopard, nor does she mention editing the photos. This page seems carefully compiled in order to achieve exactly the attention she got, while at the same time allowing her to deny any lies if the truth got out.

Don’t forget that attention is the number one value for artists. Some who go for fame will do anything for it (whether justified or as a last ditch effort to make the artist dream reality)
