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.

Indeed, the leopard may carry their kill into the tree branches before eating - it depends on how many lions and hyenas are in the area.

How do jaguars kill and catch their pray?

Jaguars are capable of killing just about any type of prey they encounter. They can kill animals ranging in size from an armadillo that weighs 1 kg (2 lb) to a cow that weighs more than 450 kg (1,000 lb). Jaguars hunt by walking slowly along trails, watching and listening for prey. They also wait in ambush beside trails and will leap into the water in pursuit of prey. They hunt when their prey is most active. In areas where they feed on nocturnal prey, they hunt at night. Jaguars preying on cattle often hunt during the daytime, and they usually kill caiman and turtles while these reptiles bask beside the water during the day. Jaguars have an unusual method of killing large prey. Whereas lions, tigers, and leopards kill with a throat or neck bite, jaguars often kill large prey by biting through the skull between the ears. Jaguars also use their powerful jaws and strong canine teeth to break open the heavy shells of large river turtles. Empty broken turtle shells with traces of jaguar hair around the openings are often found on favorite turtle-nesting beaches. No other big cat regularly hunts turtles and caimans, and some scientists have speculated that the jaguar’s robust canine teeth and enormously powerful bite developed specifically to pierce the armor of these reptiles. After killing a large animal, a jaguar will usually drag the carcass into dense cover before beginning to eat. If the kill is made in an open area, jaguars often drag their prey for considerable distances. they eat rests of animals and..don't forget that their favourite food is...OCELOT!
