Snow Leopard
Panthera uncia
Snow leopards live in cold, rocky mountains of Central and South Asia, using broken cliffs and snow-colored coats to stay hidden. They are solitary ambush predators that stalk blue sheep, ibex, marmots, and other mountain animals before closing with a powerful leap. Broad paws act like natural snowshoes, and the long tail aids balance on steep slopes. Unlike the big roaring cats, snow leopards cannot truly roar, but they communicate with growls, hisses, chuffs, and scent marks.
