snow leopards are my favorite animal. i am totally confused, perplexed by their beauty. if youve ever seen video of one, not only is it rare video, but you get an idea of their mysterious, awesome nature. just boggles my mind. check 'em out.

the average lifespan of a snow leopard is 13 or 14 years, though some have lived to be as long as 20.

the snow leopard is found in the mountainous regions of central Asia, ranging in the north from Russia and Mongolia down through China and Tibet into the Himalayan regions of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India.

a snow leopards natural habitat is often just a bunch of rocky mountains and hills. it lives its entire life in areas that are not commonly explored by humans because of how absolutely rocky they are.

that last one is my favorite snow leopard photo, one of my favorite photos ever actually. i emailed the guy who took it cause i want a huge version of it but have never received a response.
the snow leopard is solitary but will sometimes share hunties duties with its mate.
with larger animals it's common that a snow leopard will remain close to its kill for over a period of four days before feeding. it is extremely well built and muscular; it can bring down an animal two or three times its size.

snow leopards have been spotted at heights as much as 6000 meters in summer. that is only a few thousand meters short of mount everest..
these bad mother fuckers can jump 45 feet
snow leopards are entirely harmless to humans.

snow leopards like to sleep.
in my wildest dreams i would actually own a snow leopard but in reality i will probably at most just see one through a pair of binoculars.

entirely harmless as is they don't attack or they're not around enough to be any kind of danger? or are they just afraid of humans (i doubt that due to their strength)?
beautiful animals, these are.

entirely harmless as in they have never attacked a human before. there is a picture online of the leader of the conservation corp. putting an electronic collar on one without the usage of tranqs or weapons. it was docile.

I have one of these, but much smaller. He likes to roll on his back so I can rub his belly. :-)
