Interesting facts: snow leopards are considered to be big cats, althought they are quite small than other big cats | snow leopards are not able to roar | other name for snow leopard is ,,irbis“ | snow leopards use their long and very fluffy tail as a scarf to hide their neck and head in cold weather.

I love the definition of it's face. That's either an awesome timed yawn or one loud "RAWR"

One thing's for sure, you can't really tell if the snow leopard in this picture is either yawning or snarling because of how it looks!

Reporter: "You really eat monkey?"
Snow Leopard "Of course we eat monkeys, they look like hairy humans. Closest thing we can get away with out getting into serious trouble."
