Snow Leopard Quick Facts
They are widely spread over Central and South Asia in countries like Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan, India, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Bhutan, Russia and Kazakhstan.
They prefer living in ridges, cliffs and rock outcrops. These locations are convenient because they provide camouflage for stalking and sneaking up on prey.
The tail of a snow leopard is almost as long as its body.
Having a long furry tail is one of their unique aspects. The tail aids in balancing when walking over steep and narrow ledges.
They have well-adapted paws for walking on snow and even wading across thick snow cover.
They are very independent and solitary creatures, living alone most of the time and only socializing during the mating season.
