Snow Leopards

Although little is known about Snow leopards because of their reclusive nature, there are thought to be less than 7,000 in the wild currently. Because of this, Snow leopards are an endangered species. These strikingly beautiful cats, which belong to their own genus, the genus Uncia, make their home in the rocky mountainous regions of South Asia and Central Asia.

Why are bushes called bushes and not small trees?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A bush, also called shrubbery, is generally short but some types can be 6-feet high or taller (example: a maze made with a hedge). A bush typically has more than 1 'trunk' growing from the ground, and also, its separate trunks branch closer to the ground than what is seen on a tree. On mature/adult trees, the first branch in the trunk is usually above 4-feet or more from the ground. A bush more typically grows up to 3 feet high (except hedge types), and grow outward in width - hence, the term 'bush'. Trees grow upward before attaining a thicker canopy of leaves at the top. Bushes often have short stems with very tiny leaves, and stems sometimes also have a thorny appearance. Bushes are cut and shaped better by hedge trimmers (manual clippers, or electric trimmers), while hand or electric saws or large clippers with teeth do better on tree branches.
