雪豹 (Panthera uncia) 的特征是灰白色的毛皮和身上的黑色环纹，脸上还有黑色斑点。它们生活在尼泊尔、西藏、印度北部、西伯利亚南部、巴基斯坦、不丹和蒙古的山区。雪豹的毛皮非常厚且绝缘效果佳，能让它们自在地生活于 -25ºC 的零下酷寒中。雪豹主要以山羊和绵羊为食，但也会猎捕鸟类和鼠类。

Animal Facts
Snow leopards have very large paws in proportion to their body size that allow them to move quickly and stealthily along the snow.
The snow leopard can jump higher and further than any other cat species; reaching heights of 6m when jumping and distances of 15m when pouncing.
Snow leopards can live at altitudes of 5400m.
Snow leopards are 'crepuscular' animals; they are active at dawn and dusk.
Snow leopards will often hold their own tail in their mouth to use it as a muffler against the wind and snow.
