Snow leopards can leap up to 15 meters in a single bound, helping them traverse rugged terrain.
Their thick fur and long tails help them survive in temperatures as low as -40°C.
Snow leopards are solitary and elusive, earning them the nickname "ghost of the mountains.".
Their long, bushy tails are used for balance and can wrap around their bodies for warmth.
They live at high altitudes, often between 3,000 and 5,000 meters above sea level.
Snow leopards are an endangered species, with fewer than 7,000 individuals estimated to remain in the wild.
