Snow leopards are found in the mountainous regions of central Asia. They have a scientific name of either Panthera uncia or Uncia uncia. Snow leopards are carnivores that actively hunt prey like bharal, Himalayan tahr, and domestic livestock. They have long thick fur that varies in color from smoky gray to yellowish tan. Snow leopards breed in late winter and mothers raise cubs alone after briefly mating. As solitary animals, they have large home ranges but do not defend their territories aggressively.

o Snow leopard known throughtout the world for its beautiful fur and elusive behavior, the endangered snow leopard () is found in the rugged mountains of central asia.
o They are perfectly adapted to the cold, bareen landscape of their high altitude home, but human threats have created an uncertain future for the cats.
o Scientist estimate that there may only be between 3920-6390 snow leopard left in the wild.
Which Is The Best Climber Of All The Big Cats_.pdfCat Judo
There is no simple answer when determining which of the big cats – lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars – is the best climber. Each animal has unique strengths and limitations, making it impossible to determine which one is the ultimate best. However, other scientists believe that the lion is the king of the jungle. Their massive physique and muscular back legs make them natural climbers, swimmers, and runners.

name has not been settled yet.
3. WHERE YOU WOULD FIND
SNOW LEOPARDS
Snow leopards are found in the mountains of central Asia.
Within their mountain habitat snow leopards like high, steep and rocky places where there are
few plants.
Places that scientists call the alpine and sub-alpine zones.
4. HUNTING AND DIET
Snow leopards are carnivores and actively hunt there pray, they eat whatever meat they can
find including carrion and domestic livestock.
They can kill animals three to four times there weight, such as the bharal, Himalayan
tahr, markhor and argali, but will readily take much smaller prey, such as birds and hares a
hares is the picture on the right bellow.
They are capable of killing most animals in their range even an adult male yak which is the
picture on the left bellow.
5. DESCRIPTION
• Snow leopards are slightly smaller than the other big cats but generally weighing between
27 and 55kg and occasional large male reaching up to 75kg and small female under 25kg.
• They have a relatively short body, measuring in length from the head to the base of the
tail 75 to 130cm although the tail is quite long reaching up to 80 to 100cm long.
• Snow leopards have long, thick fur and their base colour changes from smoky grey to
yellowish tan, with whitish underparts.
6. BREEDING
• Snow leopards usually mate in later winter.
• Males tend not to seek out another partner after mating, probably because the short
mating season does not allow enough time time.
• A male and a female will travel together for a few days and then mate. The cats will then
part ways and become solitary once again, with the female taking full responsibility of
raising any offspring.
7. BEHAVIOUR
• In summer, snow leopards usually live above the tree line on mountainous meadows and
in rocky region, Snow leopards prefer broken terrain, and can travel without difficulty in
snow up to 85cm deep, although they prefer to use existing trails made by other animals.
• An individual snow leopard lives within a well-defined home range, but does not defend its
territory aggressively when encroached upon by other snow leopards.
9. CONCLUSION
• So snow leopards are rare and non territorial, they are 80 to 100cm long and weighed
between 27 and 55kg snow leopards are carnivores and hunt actively for there pray. Snow
leopards are found in the mountains of central Asia the scientific name for the snow
leopard is Panthera uncia or a Uncia uncia.
