Snow Leopards

Snow Leopards are the king of stealth attacks.  These cats can't roar so they sneak up on their prey.  Their coat blends in perfectly with the Asian  mountains.  Their coats are yellowish gray with spots.  These leopards will usually stalk their prey. When they are close enough, they will leap, going distances of 20-50 feet and with one bite to the neck, their prey is dead.  This cat will hunt deer, mountain goat, sheep,  game birds, hares, and mice.  Snow Leopards are endangered and there is 3,500-7,000 left in the wild due to global warming.
