It is understood that snow leopards inhabit highland areas at an altitude of 2500-5000 meters and are internationally endangered cat species. Because it is active near the snow line and between the snow all year round, it is called "Snow Leopard". It is only distributed in my country and 11 neighboring countries, with a population of 3500 to 7000. High-altitude mountains such as Tianshan in China are the main distribution areas of snow leopards. Its fur is off-white, with black spots and black rings, and its relatively long and thick tail is an obvious feature that distinguishes snow leopards from other similar species. According to data surveys, the number of snow leopards in China is even less than that of giant pandas. The population density of snow leopards is very low, and the average mountain area is less than one per 100 square kilometers.
