Elusive, beautiful, and impressive jumpers, Snow leopards are a rare, roarless species of big cat. They live in the mountains, and can leap up to 50 feet through the air!
They use their long tails for balance and blankets to keep warm in the frigid mountain air.
Their wide, furry paws act as natural snowshoes, preventing them from wading through the frosty ground. Snow leopards mainly diet on blue sheep or Bharl and ibexes.
Their numbers are dwindling, not many more than 4,080-6,590 are left in the wild.
Snow leopards are actually more related to tigers than leopards! Their gorgeous gray spotted fur is helps them hide in the rocky clefts and snow piles of the Asian mountains.
