Asked by Wiki User

leopards are swift and are expert climbers. Leopards will sometimes be waiting in a tree where an unsuspecting monkey might be. They will also go up in the trees when the monkeys are asleep.

Were do Asia leopards live?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is a big debate as to how many leopards still roam Europe. However it is certainly not true to say that there has never been any. There are various species of leopard that roamed far eastern europe (turkey armenia etc).

The anatolain leopard (turkey) is seen very rarely (last confirmed sighting was 1974, though tracks were seen in 2003).

Look at the website below for more details

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolian_leopard

The near eastern leopard which roams Armenia Georgia and Azerbaijan, although admittedly in low numbers, is still very much alive in the wild. Below is a WWF website giving details of a conservation project for this species.

http://wwf.panda.org/who_we_are/wwf_offices/russia/projects/index.cfm?uProjectID=RU0128

While big cats are not well known in europe, up to 100AD there are accounts of spanish lions taking horses. There were also tigers that survived in eastern european countries including turkey, up until the 1970 (the caspian tiger)

What animals hunt snow leopards?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Only humans set out to hunt snow leopards. They are apex predators so nothing hunts them for food. Wolves might if given the chance, but a snow leopard would be likely to hurt a number of them so they would be unlikely to try. Also snow leopards tend to live further up the mountains.
