Snow Leopard
The snow leopard is an endangered big cat found in dramatically diminishing numbers in the rugged and mountainous terrain of Central Asia and the Himalayan region. The remaining animals live in only 12 countries in South and Central Asia. The snow leopard is currently threatened by hunting for the illegal wildlife trade and revenge killings by herders; habitat loss; and diminished food supply. It is estimated these threats are reducing the snow leopard population to numbers approaching those of the endangered tiger. The remaining animals live in only 12 countries in South and Central Asia.
