Description
The SNOW LEOPARD is an elusive big cat known for its beautiful fur and gentle nature. Its natural habitat is Central Asia, where some snow leopards have home ranges of nearly 600 square miles of arid, barren mountain areas.
POPULATION STATUS VULNERABLE: Snow leopards are in high demand in places like Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and Russia, where their pelts are turned into coats and other garments. Their bones and body parts have also been used for traditional medicine in several Asian countries for thousands of years. Nevertheless, the most distinct threat they are currently facing is climate change since their habitat range begins where the tree line stops and the mountain range begins. As temperatures rise the snow lines recede, causing the snow leopard to move further up the mountain. Vegetation there is scarce, so the herbivores they prey on are in limited supply and the snow leopards are not able to get enough food.
