The leopard’s white-grey coat has exquisite dark spots. The overall look serves as a great camouflage in the immediate environment. Despite being one of the most skilled hunters in the cat family, netizens couldn’t help but notice how “handsome” and “handsome” the wild cat looked shaking its head as the snow fell from the trees.

Snow leopards have adapted to some of the harshest conditions in the world. Their thick, spotted fur not only serves as camouflage while hunting, but it also provides the insulation the animal needs to survive in the biting cold habitat.

The snow leopard’s habitat spans the mountainous regions of 12 Asian countries: China, India, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Pakistan, Russia, Mongolia, Nepal, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. According to WWF, 60% of the habitats are found in China. These majestic animals are facing challenges like habitat change due to climate crisis, poaching and retaliatory killings by local people.
