Snow Leopards

They are being helped by The Snow Leopard Trust. See link below
Habitat is being set aside for them, and there is no legal taking of this cat anymore, but sadly, a few are poached every year.

The genus of a snow leopard is: Uncia

The species is: Uncia uncia

they are born the same way we are but not in a hospital.

Snow leopards are expected to become extinct by about 2030.

This Is A Tough One But I Think A Wolf Because Wolves Are Skinnier And Faster.

Wolves Are Also A Very Big Competitor Of The Snow Leopard And Wolves Can Live In Packs Which Can Rip The Snow Leopard Into Shreads.

Snow leopards have strong muscles, good for leaping through the air. They also have a tail that is 3/4 the length of them, they use it for wrapping it around their noses when it gets cold, they also use for balance when hunting and jumping. Their thick fur also helps with the keep out the cold while their spots on them help with camouflage. That's the basics of the snow leopards anatomy.

A leopard lives 15 -20 years. The average is 16 -18 years. and they are related to the lions,tigers,and jaguars.

food, water, shelter

One difference between a snow leopard and a cheetah is how they look. Snow leopard have ringed spots, a soft grey coat, fur on the bottom of their paws, and a tail that is heavy with fur. A cheetah has round spots, short and coarse tan fur, and a tail with dark rings at the end along with the bushy white tuft.

At least 9 months.

They perfer to eat meat, such as wild hares(snow rabbit), mountain goats, sheep, or deer. Snow leopards also eat animals from the forests, which are located in the Himalayas, where they live. They get it by hunting it down, and killing it. They stalk their prey, and wait for the right moment to pounce. They will not eat any plant, and they do not try to eat humans. They actually try to stay clear of people. Although if you get in their way, they may atack you, if their hungry enough. Some people think that all leopards only eat meat. This is not true. Some leopards will eat berries, because certain types of berries can cure animal illnesses.

a cheetah's body is completely built for speed, and practically nothing else. they have a flexible spine so they can bunch their legs closer and then stretch out. their bodies are long and slender, as are their legs. this helps them running because less air is blocked by their bodies. small heads and ears play a part in running too, because small blocks less air as well. they have long, thick tails to help fast turns. they have long, un-retractable claws that act like cleats. by the way, they have a big heart and lungs for big air intake and faster blood-pumping. so generally, the cheetah is long and thin. hope i could help out! :)

Snow Leopard does not mean anything. The Snow part of the name just means snow, and the Leopard part of the name means leopard. The difference between a regular Leopard and a Snow Leopard is that the Snow Leopard is white with black spots.

There are many private charity organizations that work hard to protect many animals considered endangered. The snow leopard among them. The Endangered Species Act of 1973. and the "IUCN" International Union for the Conservation of Nature are both govermental based and driven. There are advantages to this, in that laws can be written and enforced to protect the animals listed as endangered, but there are also the disadvantages that always come with any govermental organization. For maore info about this two organizations see sites listed below.

YES

If you're talking about the Iditarod Race, then the ''Mushers'' would wear snowshoes.

The diet of a Snow leopard varies across snow leopard range

. In the Himalayas they eat mostly blue sheep, which are also known as bharal (Pseudois nayaur).

In the Karakorum (Pakistan), Tian Shan (China, Kyrgyzstan and

Kazakhstan) and Altai (Russia and Mongolia) Mountains, their main prey is

ibex, a wild goat (Capra siberica) and wild argali sheep (Ovis ammon).

Across their range snow leopards also take small prey including marmots

and hares, and they hunt larger birds like snow Roosters and chukor. Snow

leopards are opportunistic hunters, and they will attack livestock that are in

their range.

Snow Leopards are killed to supply illegal fur traders and for their bones which are ground to powder and used illegally in traditional Asian medicines. for their bones and smokey grey fur coats! Due to indiscriminate hunting for its pelt, the snow leopard is in danger of becoming extinct.

i think they sleep 10 hours

No snow leoperds live in snow hills.

The Snow Leopard is part of the food chain and it has it's place. Without it another animal would be affected. Life on the planet would be affected. People would be affected. It is part of the "circle of life."

up until they are 4 years old and are ready to hunt

No, snow leopards do not eat vegetables. They are strict carnivores, just like other cats. That means they only eat meat.

Yes,propley would be!

You wouldn't wan't to be sitting at home with a black leopard on your knee! would you?

I HOPE THIS HELPED!

The bobcat cubs leave their mothers at least 5 months old maybe less
