The diet of a Snow leopard varies across snow leopard range

. In the Himalayas they eat mostly blue sheep, which are also known as bharal (Pseudois nayaur).

In the Karakorum (Pakistan), Tian Shan (China, Kyrgyzstan and

Kazakhstan) and Altai (Russia and Mongolia) Mountains, their main prey is

ibex, a wild goat (Capra siberica) and wild argali sheep (Ovis ammon).

Across their range snow leopards also take small prey including marmots

and hares, and they hunt larger birds like snow Roosters and chukor. Snow

leopards are opportunistic hunters, and they will attack livestock that are in

their range.

What are the main threats to the cougar?

When the farmers bring their livestock farther into the snow leopards' territory, the livestock eat all the food that the wild mountain goats, the snow leopards' natural prey, eat. This causes them to die out. With their main food supply cut, the snow leopards have no choice but to prey on the farmers' livestock. Then the farmers get angry and start hunting the snow leopards. Also, some poachers still hunt the snow leopards for their coat, which is worth a lot of money.
