Snow Leopard
The Snow Leopard Trust aims to better understand the endangered snow leopard, and to protect the cat in partnership with the communities that share its habitat.
Snow leopard. The scientific name for the snow leopard is Panthera uncia. Snow Leopards are the only classified large Panthera species that cannot roar. The snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is a rare big cat adapted to life in a cold, harsh environment.
Instead, Snow Leopard sounds include the chuff, growl, hiss, and mew. On the treacherous slopes of the Himalayas, no hunter other than the Snow Leopard would have a chance of catching such agile prey as the Markhor. The other name for the snow leopard is the "ounce." Ounce and the species name unciaderive from the old French word once, which means "lynx.".
Snow leopard, also called ounce, large long-haired Asian cat, classified as either Panthera uncia or Uncia uncia in the family Felidae. Snow leopards are often killed by local farmers because they prey on livestock such as sheep, goats, horses, and yak calves. Snow leopards have powerful legs and are tremendous jumpers, able to leap as far as 50 feet.
The snow leopard (Panthera uncia), also known as the ounce, is a large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia.It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because the global population is estimated to number less than 10,000 mature individuals and is expected to decline about 10% by 40. Snow leopards are perfectly adapted to the cold, barren landscape of their high-altitude home, but human threats have created an uncertain future for the cats. Its patterned coat helps it blend in with the steep rocky slopes above the tree line in the Asian mountains.
These big cats use their long tails for balance and as blankets to cover sensitive body parts against. The animals which snow leopards would typically hunt—such as the Argali sheep—are also hunted by local communities. As their natural prey becomes harder to find, snow leopards are forced to kill livestock for survival.
Known throughout the world for its beautiful fur and elusive behavior, the endangered snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is found in the rugged mountains of Central Asia. Previously classified in the genus Uncia, recent genetic testing has resulted in a taxonomical shift to the genus Panthera, which consists of other true big cats like lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars.
