SNOW LEOPARDS
Hi!
Snow leopards are magnificent creatures ! and i would like to show you about the beauty of these wonderful creatures.
Snow leopards are close relatives with the regular Jungle or savannah leopards . Their white fur covers their entire body with patches of faint black dots of fur on their entire body. they have a slender body than their relatives to deal with the harsh terrains they live in. Though they may look bigger than how they actually look because of their thick coat of fur.
Snow leopards are slightly smaller than the other big cats but, like them, exhibit a range of sizes, generally weighing between 27
and 55 kg (60 and 121 lb), with an occasional large male reaching 75 kg
(165 lb) and small female of under 25 kg (55 lb).
They have a relatively short body, measuring in length from the head to
the base of the tail 75 to 130 cm (30 to 50 in). However, the tail is
quite long, at 80 to 100 cm (31 to 39 in), with only the domestic-cats-sized marble cat being relatively longer-tailed. They are stocky and short-legged big cats, standing about 60 cm (24 in) at the shoulder.
Snow leopards inhabit alpine and subplaine
zones at elevations from 3,000 to 4,500 m (9,800 to 14,800 ft). In the
northern range countries, they also occur at lower elevations.
