Cute Snow Leopard Cubs Living Well in Switzerland’s Zoo Zürich

The Snow Leopard, also known as Panthera uncia, is a large feline species native to the mountainous regions of Central and South Asia. This elusive and endangered animal is known for its distinctive white-grey fur with black spots, which provides excellent camouflage in its natural habitat. The Snow Leopard is a solitary and highly adaptable predator, capable of hunting prey such as blue sheep, ibex, and marmots in harsh and rugged terrain. Due to habitat loss, poaching, and climate change, the Snow Leopard population has declined significantly in recent years, making conservation efforts crucial for the survival of this magnificent species.
