The magnificent and incredibly elusive snow leopard usually lives high up in the rugged mountains of central Asia, including parts of the Himalayas. Their thick fur and wide fur-covered feet mean they’re perfectly suited to their mountain home

There are around 4,000-6,500 livingin the wild but as they are extremely elusive we don’t know the exact number. Snow leopards are often poached for their beautiful coats and their bones can be used in traditional Asian medicine. Climate change is also affecting their mountainous home and their prey that lives there.
