Snow cat

Living high up in the icy
mountains of Central Asia,

little is known about the shy

and solitary snow leopard.

These beautiful cats are rarely

spotted by humans, as they
Happy families
live in large, isolated areas. Snow leopards have their babies in the

spring. The cubs stay with their mother
through their first winter, before leaving
to find homes of their own.

A snow leopard’s tail
can be up to 35 in
(90 cm) long.

The traveling cat
Each snow leopard has a huge
territory, which it will patrol
regularly. Every cat has to travel
a long way to find suitable prey,
such as wild sheep and goats.
