Claim:

A picture is being circulated on social media, showing a teenage girl sitting with a snow leopard with users claiming that the wild animal was raised by the girl. 

A snap of a mountain area also has a story of love and affection between a human and an animal, which was too shared by the netizens.

“A young girl named Gulmina is a resident of Gilgit Baltistan. She raised a snow leopard sitting beside her. She found this leopard when it was a cub, and Gulmina thought it was a kitty or cat,” the users claimed.

The storytellers further said that this leopard lives in mountains, but usually comes in a residential area to meet Gulmina.

Fact:

However, Dialogue Pakistan's fact-check team revealed that the story attributed to the picture is fabricated.

Even, the picture was created by a digital artist, Babrak Khan, using an AI tool mid-journey.
