Snow Leopard

The Snow Leopard is home to central asia, but you will not find them so easily as they are very rare with only about 6,000 left in the wild. they are very dangerous game that are hunted for the beautiful warm fur and their organs that are used in traditional chinese medicine. These powerful animals would surely win any track meet being able to jump over 50 feet! These endangered wonders weigh from 60 to 120 pounds standing around 4 feet tall.

These creatures of the mountains are on the decline, partly their own fault, they have taken a liking to domesticated animals and have wondered into villages only to be killed by villagers. These beautiful animals roam their lands with such force and power, they seem to always be in control and are at the top of the food chain. 

The Snow Leopard has been around for a long time and they are losing their numbers very fast. Endangered species are under attack from criminals that need to be stopped. I like these animals because of the fight they have and their appearance in nature. There location stands out because they are able to hunt so efficiently and take down hard to see animals to survive. They certainly are a wonder to this earth.
