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.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Snow leopards are members of the cat family and are mammals. This means that snow leopards are warm blooded, because their bodies maintain a consistent temperature on their own. Cold blooded animals, such as snakes, lizards, reptiles or amphibians, depend on the environment to keep them warm.

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.

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)
