Snow Leopard Playtime!

🤍 It's International Snow Leopard Day so we are celebrating our beautiful snow leopard family!

😻 Snow leopards are incredibly well adapted to the range of conditions they live in, here are some fun facts about these amazing big cats:

🧡 Snow leopards live in temperatures ranging from -40℃ to +40℃ so they have adapted to live in all conditions!
🧡 They have several adaptations including a long, thick tail for balance, large nasal cavities to warm and humidify cold air, and wide, fur-covered feet to help them walk on snow.
🧡 Snow leopards are typically solitary animals and only come together during the breeding season. They are known for their elusive behaviour, making them difficult to study and observe in the wild!
🧡 Their home range can be quite extensive, with males having larger territories than females. These territories can span up to 100 square miles or more!
🧡 They communicate through vocalizations such as growls, hisses, and chuffing sounds. Scent marking and scratch marks on trees are also used to establish territory.
