Snow Leopard!

---

    The Snow Leopard is also called the ounce. It is a member of the cat family. It lives in the cold regions of central Asia.
    The Snow Leopard grows to be about 6 feet long. It has thick, pale gray hair with leopardlike spots. The snow leopard resembles such big cats such as lions and tigers, it also has many features of smaller cats. For example cannot roar but it can purr.
    It feeds on mammals such as deer, ibex, marmots, and picas. Snow leopards eat in a crouched position, so do domestic cats. Other big cats feed lying down.
    The snow leopard is an endangered species because so many have been killed for their fur.                                                            By: Ashley Vaters
