Snow Leopard (56 photos) Bashny.Net

Bars - this is an unusual cat with soft gray fur, which in some places covered with black and dark-brown spots. This is a cat with a long, bushy tail and powerful big paws. One of the wonderful creations of nature. When viewed from a safe distance. :))

Lives in the high Himalayan pine forests and in the Altai Mountains.

Snow leopards are considered a dying breed, as in nature are very few left.



Snow Leopard adapted to almost any extreme weather conditions, whether it is bitter cold or the wind. They hunt alone in the mountains to feed their kids. They hunt and wild mountain sheep and musk deer, goats and small, but mostly when there are warm days, they prey on small mammals. Unlike most big cats snow leopard does not roar with laughter, he is more restrained in this regard. And he eats, leaving the soft pieces of meat for their young kittens. Snow leopard at a time can bring up to four kittens covered with a uniform, soft fur, like the leopard-mom. He did not give birth on the street, and in a warm den, where he comes when he feels that the time has come to the birth of little children.



The height of the mountains, which were discovered leopard, reaches 6,000 meters. Not too little. It's almost the height of climbing Mount Everest, lacks some two thousand meters.

And what can make the leap leopard! Snow leopards are considered to be excellent jumpers. When hunting, they can attack prey at a distance of 45 feet!

There is another quality that helps leopard run fast in the snow, and hold firmly on the mountainside. This is his fluffy, soft and very quick feet of snow leopard. With the help of his legs, leopard steadfastly standing on a snowy mountain top, not the bottom rolls into a ball, thus providing a large area for viewing areas. Furry paws like a leopard winter boots of good quality that save and help when needed. Fur that covered feet, keeping them warm and dry, and not just legs. I do not think that someday you will see a leopard in the snow. This is because it has a special fur repellency.
