The snow leopard has thick grey fur and fur-covered feet that act like snow boots. They prey on animals like sheep and goats but will also hunt smaller animals like hares and birds. Snow leopards live in remote, alpine areas of Asia in rocky, high places with few plants, moving to subalpine areas when it gets colder. They are endangered due to being hunted for their fur and use in Asian medicines, as well as being naturally rare animals.
