My animal is the snow leopard. It also has large paws, with strong legs. It is short, and has a thick tail. Snow leopards have big beady eyes and small ears that stick straight up. It's a mammal, and a predator.
Snow leopards live in cold regions.
They live in the highest mountains of central Asia. Snow leopards roam in small forests and on the cliffs of mountainsides. In the summer, in the Tibetan highlands, some leopards are up to 18,000 feet above sea level. Snow leopards have been spotted 6,000 meters up a mountain in the summer. The snow leopard eats mountain goats, deer, ibex, marmots, picas, domestic livestock, wild sheep, wild pigs, and other animals that live in high mountains.
