The Emblem of ancient Ossetia was fixed in the middle of the flag. This is, first of all, the skyline of mountain ranges, depicted in dark, blue colors. Against the background of the mountain chains is portrayed a snow leopard, in a calm but watchful posture. Black spots are seen against the white background of its body. Its belly is of the white color too, but it is devoid of any spots.
Snow leopard is of the cat family.
Its length is 1,5 m., its body is oblong, lithe and muscular. Its fur is dense, downy. The coloration is yellow or orange, with black spots, the belly is without spots, of the white color. According to Bremm, a world-renowned scientist in the field of the animal world, snow leopard by the harmony of its build and beauty, strength and agility is very different from tiger.
