The speciesSnow leopards are covered in thick grey coloured fur. They’re feet are covered with fur which are like snow

boots for the animals. Snow leopards prey are animals such as sheep, and goats but sometimes hunt prey like hares and birds

which are much smaller then the leopard. http://www.konicaminolta.com/kids/endangered_animals/library/field/img/s-leopard_img01-l.jpg

Habitat and locationSnow leapords live in alpine and mountainous areas of Asia. They are found in remote, rocky,

high places where there are few plants. The leapords move to subalpine areas once the

weather starts to get colder.

Why it is Endangered

One of the main reasons snow leopards are endangered is because they are hunted for fur

and used a lot in Asian medicines. They are also naturally rare animals.

SummarySnow Leopards are beautiful and smart animals. We should be saving these animals and other endangered species because all animals play a role in the food chain and once an animal is endanger, it effects the whole food chain.
