Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia) - Beautiful Big Cat

- Known throughout the world for its beautiful fur and elusive behavior, the endangered snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is found in the rugged mountains of Central Asia.
Snow leopards are perfectly adapted to the cold, barren landscape of their high-altitude home, but human threats have created an uncertain future for the cats. Despite a range of over 2 million km2, scientist estimate that there may only be between 3,920 and 6,390 snow leopards left in the wild.
Height: 55-65 cm (22 - 26 inches)
Length: 90 - 115 cm (36 - 44 inches)
Tail: ca. 100 cm (40 inches)
Its extra large paws keep the cat from sinking into the snow- like a pair of natural snow shoes.
Its round, short ears reduce heat loss, and the wide, short nasal cavity warms the air before it reaches the cat’s lungs.
The cat has strong, short front limbs and longer hind limbs. They help launch the cat up to 30 feet (10 meters) in one leap!
The snow leopard sports excellent camouflage thanks to its grey-white fur with its dark spots and rosettes.
Its extra long tail helps the cat keep its balance and provides extra warmth when it’s wrapped around the body.
The snow leopard has soft, dense fur that grows extra-thick during the winter to keep the cat’s body warm.
Snow leopards are shy, elusive cats known for their solitary nature.
These cats are most active at dawn and dusk, which is called a “crepuscular activity pattern” by scientists.
Snow leopards regularly patrol home ranges that can cover hundreds of square kilometers.
Sometimes a male and female might be seen together during mating season, or we might see a mother with her young cubs.
Once the cubs are about 2 years old, they begin to disperse from their mother and set out on their own.
In order to communicate snow leopards leave markings on the landscape that other cats will find. They scrape the ground with their hind legs and spray urine against rocks to mark their territory or locate mates.
Snow leopards make sounds similar to those made by other large cats, including a purr, mew, hiss, growl, moan, and yowl. However, snow leopards cannot roar due to the physiology of their throat, and instead make a non-aggressive puffing sound called a ‘chuff’.
Snow leopards are not aggressive towards humans. There has never been a verified snow leopard attack on a human being. Even if disturbed while feeding, a snow leopard is more likely to run away than try to defend the site.
