Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia)

      Chuff! Chuff! The snow leopard, or Panthera uncia, is just short of being a big, hissing, snarling, fluff-ball!!The froofy fur helps it keep warm in the alpines and the rocky mountains of Tibet and more of China. The snow leopard eats, wild mountain goats and sheep, hares, game birds, and pikas. Their habitat is very rocky, and their long, gorgeous tail helps them balance on a shaky log, or steep mountain.

       The snow leopard, like the clouded leopard, is not a small big cat, and not a large big cat, like a lion. Thus being said, the snow leopard cannot purr, like a small cat, and cannot roar like a big cat. It makes a chuffing sound, like a tiger.

       There are only about 6000 snow leopards left in the wild. Hunters love these amazing beasts because of their silky soft fur. The snow leopard is a gorgeous endangered beauty that needs your help to be saved!!!




Help raise awareness for these guys! They have done nothing to us!
