LIFE BEYOND A SNOW LEOPARD!
SCIENTIFIC NAME
PANTHERA UNCIA
HABITAT AND EXTINCTION
They live in the Himalayas or cold mountain regions, and right now, because of climate change, they are losing their habitats, which is a factor of them becoming extinct. Also, their natural prey, known as Argali Sheep, are becoming more harder to find because of local communities are hunting them, so they are forced to eat livestock which is the cause of local communities killing the leopards so that is another factor of their endangerment.
