Snow Leopard

Description

The snow leopard has a light grey coat with black rosettes, just like the intricately painted snow leopard from Schleich Wild Life.The snow leopard is a large cat that lives in the high rocky mountains of Central Asia. It feeds mainly on sheep, ibex and goats. Thick fur protects it against freezing cold temperatures but its beauty means that many animals fall prey to poachers. Thats why the snow leopard is an endangered species. A special feature is its tail which, like the snow leopard from Schleich Wild Life, is nearly as long as its body.
