Greatly Endangered

This species is in a very sharp decline and is being systematically killed or removed from its natural habitat. Its future looks bleak unless sanctuaries can be created to safeguard   more...this extraordinary creature of immense solitude and peace.. .the "Gray Ghost" cat. In words of biologist George B. Schaller, "Suddenly I saw the snow leopard. Wisps of cloud moved between us, and she became a ghost creature, appearing and disappearing as if in a dream."
Snow leopards do not roar, they are considered nocturnal, but they are active in the early morning and late afternoon. The longest a Snow leopard has live in captivity is 15 years. The reason they are endangered is poaching for the fur, loss of habitat caused by deforestation and dam projects, and loss of food sources. How people are trying to help them is habitat protection, captive breeding, stiff penalties for poachers and international buyers or illegal furs, and public education.  less
