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.

How would it affect the food chain if snow leopards went extinct?

There would be many consequences. First, it would damage ecosystems that revolve around the leopard. Small prey animals would overpopulate and eat all of the starting food (such as grass). Next, there would have to be another major predator eating the food that the leopards would normally eat, so this would cause an increase in the population of lions, and/or other big predators that hunt the same prey as leopards. This is very likely to result in extinction of many other animals. I would recommend doing some research on how ecosystems work. Overall this would cause massive damage to the ecosystem, and the extinction of leopards would damage many other species. All of this depends on HOW the leopards went extinct. The damage would be much, much greater if they went extinct over night.
