What is the difference between the snow leopard and a regular leopard?

Answer 1

Leopards (Panthera pardus) were originally found from southeastern Russia, throughout eastern and southern Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and throughout subsaharan Africa, in many different habitats, primarily savannahs and forests, but including taiga in parts of Russia and China. In these latter areas, winter temperatures can get down to -12o F (-25o C). Like lions and tigers, leopards can roar.

Snow leopards (Uncia uncia) have always been restricted to mountains in southern and Central Asia, including the Altai, Tien Shan, Karakoram and Himalayan ranges among others. They are highly adapted for living in the cold, rocky, mountains, having very thick fur, small ears, short faces, and fur on the bottom of their feet (to act like snowshoes). They also have very long tails, which they use to help keep their balance while chasing prey over rocky, unstable slopes. Although closely related to tigers and leopards, snow leopards cannot roar, due to differences in the anatomy of the larynx (voice box).

Answer 3: Mac OS X Snow Leopard is very similar to Mac OS X Leopard, it could be referred to as an upgraded version that supports 64-bit processing.

Although Mac OS X Snow Leopard does have a lot of refinements from it's predecessor Mac OS X Leopard, these refinements can only be used if you have the upgraded hardware requirements. Mac OS X Snow Leopard takes advantage of the better graphics cards available in Macs and the ability to address more Random Access Memory than ever before to provide a faster, more stable operating environment.

If you purchase a Mac from the Online Apple Store, or from any Apple Retail Outlet now, it will include Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
