The snow leopard lives recluse in Himalaya, in the Altai, in Mongolia, in the Tibet, in Bouthan, in Siberia. His thick fur is a mixture of white, pale grey and golden bistre decorated with dark tasks assuring him an ideal camouflage in the snowy landscapes of its natural environment. In summer he lives between 2 500 and 6000 m on height. The winter he can come down until 1000 m. His middleweight is around 50kg and its size goes of 90 in 120cm. His tail is at least 75 % of the length of its body, from 90cm to 1m. He use it as a pendulum to keep the balance on steep rocks along the vertiginous ledges. He can jump up to fifteen meters in length and six meters in height. It is a feline extremely rare and difficult to observe in the nature because of the inaccessibility of its housing environment. We call him the mountain's ghost. His summer diet is mainly constituted by ungulates of high mountains: mouflons, ibexes, tahrs, makhors. The winter, the leopard goes down more low in valleys and forests and hunts the deer, the wild boar but also preys more modest as the marmot or the hare. Contrary to his cousins pantherides, he hums as the small big cats what makes it an exception of its species. His decline is mainly the result of illegal hunting for its fur very appreciated in Central Asia, in Russia and in the Eastern Europe, but also for the bones and various parts of its body in great demand in the Chinese medicine.
