Native to the Central Asian mountains, the majestic and ghostly snow leopard is a rare sight. With about only 4,000 - 6,000 of these animals left in the wild they are an endangered species.
Snow leopards use their long tails for balance and as blankets to cover sensitive body parts against the severe mountain chill.
They are hunted and poached for their beautiful, warm fur and for their organs, which are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Without more education and stricter laws to protect them, these beautiful, magnificent cats only have a Ghost of a Chance to survive.
