How are leopards adapted to their environment?
Winter means deep snow throughout the mountains of Central Asia where wild snow leopards live. The harsh winter weather makes clear how well the snow leopard is adapted to its environment. Its thick fur grows longer in the winter�up to 12 centimeters (nearly 5 inches) long on its belly. Its large, broad paws act like snowshoes, helping the cat walk on top of the drifts of snow, and long fur between its toes helps protect its feet from frostbite. The snow leopard even has a built-in scarf, its long, bushy tail that it often wraps around its body and face for added warmth when resting.
Despite these advantages, winter is a hard time for snow leopards. Human-snow leopard conflicts often increase in the winter, as the cats follow the herds of their wild prey down to lower altitudes where they are also more likely to come in contact with humans. Food is scarce, and hungry snow leopards occasionally kill and eat domestic livestock, increasing the possibility of retribution killings by herders.
Although snow leopards are solitary, they have overlapping home ranges, which helps males and females find each other during the mating season from January to March. A female will sometimes climb to the top of a peak or ridgeline and make long, wailing calls to let males in the area know she is ready to mate. The cats also communicate with each other through scent marking and other sign along snow leopard trails. When they mate, a male will usually stay with a female for about a week before returning to his solitary rounds. Cubs will be born in spring or early summer.

Do a cheetah's spots fade or get darker when its hungry?
A cheetah's spots are part of the pattern formed by the colours of its hair.
Hair colour can change over time, fading or greying as an animal or human ages or is ill, but it doesn't change from natural causes from time to time in the course of a short period.
There are always tales of someone who's suffered a terrible shock turning grey overnight, but they aren't true. Once the hair has grown a certain colour, that's the colour it stays. When a person or other creature goes grey they do so by growing new hairs which are grey, not by the existing hairs changing colour.
