Snow leopard
Snow leopards are exceptional athletes capable
of making huge leaps over ravines. They are highly adapted to their
harsh environment in the mountainous areas of central Asia, with long,
thick body hair, a woolly belly and enlarged nasal cavities which heat
inhaled cold air. Snow leopards are critically endangered since their
fur was once highly prized and their natural prey has declined. They can
bring down prey three times their own size, but on average only kill
one large animal twice a month.
