Amazing Facts About Snow Leopards. Incredible Facts About the Snow Leopard

The snow leopard, or irbis, is a member of the feline family that lives in the harsh climate of the Central Asian mountain massifs. The irbis is the only resident of the high mountains among all big cats. The predator belongs to a genus that occupies an intermediate position between the group of small cats and big cats.

Its appearance is similar to a leopard's. Indeed, the predators are similar in posture and overall size. The length of the flexible body of the irbis reaches 1 meter, and these cats weigh 25-40 kilograms. Male predators are slightly larger than females. A characteristic feature of the snow leopard is a very long thick tail, as well as fairly short limbs with wide paws.

Wide fluffy paws with flat large pads play the role of natural snowshoes and help big cats evenly distribute weight not to fall through, stepping on loose snow. The coat color of snow leopards is light gray, with rare dark ring-shaped spots visible.

The snow leopard lives in the mountains of Central and Central Asia, as well as in southern Siberia. Irbis is usually found in high mountain regions up to 5,000 meters above sea level. These predators inhabit the Subalpine and Alpine geographic belts, adhering to rocky terrain, treeless highlands, alpine meadows, bush-covered slopes of gorges, as well as rocky placers and snowfields. Often leopards live at lower altitudes, inhabiting areas with woody and shrub vegetation.
