The Wild Habitat - Snow Leopard (Panthera Uncia)
The snow leopard is found in Central Asia from northwestern China and the Himalayas in high mountain slopes. Most of the year they stay in elevations from 10,000 ft. to 15,000 ft. in the upper grasslands to the snow line, but in the winter they move down to elevations of about 6,000 feet. [eng] |

Snow Leopard
Found above the tree line and near permanent snow in central Asia's dry mountainous country, the snow leopard has been prized as a hunter's trophy, destroyed as a predator of domestic flocks, and sought as a source of valuable fur. Complete information as to its numbers is not available, but almost everywhere it is considered to be rare or in decline. Currently, the most serious threat to its survival is loss of habitat due to human expansion. [eng] |

Uncia uncia (Snow Leopard): Narrative
Snow leopards live in mountain steppes and coniferous forest scrub at altitudes ranging from 2000 to 6000 meters. In the summer they frequent alpine meadows and rocky areas, and in the winter they may follow prey into forests below 1800 meters. [eng] |

The Snow Leopard - Panthera uncia
One of the most beautiful and elusive cats in the world, the snow leopard lives only in the snowy mountains of central Asia. Though the snow leopard is considered a "Big Cat", it is noticeably smaller than the other big cats with the average male only weighing about 50 kg. Solitary hunters, the snow leopard ambushes its prey aided by the camouflage of its light colored fur with dark rosettes. [eng] |

The Wild Habitat - Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia)
The snow leopard has many special adaptations for its harsh environment. Its fur is long and dense and has great insulation for the sub-zero temperatures. The snow leopard has a gray coat with black spots and rosettes, and a white stomach. Its tail is long which provides balance in its leaps up to 35 ft. Like its coat, the fur on its tail is long and dense, and it wraps its tail around its body, mouth, and nose in extreme temperatures. [eng] |
