Snow leopard

Snow leopard is a moderately large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia. 

Snow leopards are smaller than the other big cats but, like them, exhibit a range of sizes, generally weighing between 27 and 55 kg.

Body length ranges from 75 to 130 cm.

Snow leopards are carnivores and actively hunt their prey. They can kill animals three to four times their size, such as the Bharal, Himalayan Tahr, Markhor and Argali, but will readily take much smaller prey such as hares and birds. Unusually among cats, snow leopards also eat a significant amount of vegetation, including grass and twigs.
