Endangered Animals
Today I,Tiger Girl am going to tell you all about an animal who is endangered. This animal is also has a long tail that provides balance and agility and also wraps around the resting snow leopard as protection from the cold. What is this animal you may ask? ITS A SNOW LEOPARD!!!!!! Here is a picture of this beautiful animal.
The snow leopard’s powerful build allows it to scale great steep
slopes with ease. Its hind legs give the snow leopard the ability to
leap six times the length of its body. A long tail provides balance and
agility and also wraps around the resting snow leopard as protection
from the cold.
For millennia, this magnificent cat was the king of the mountains. The mountains were rich with their prey such as blue sheep, Argali wild sheep, ibex, marmots, pikas and hares. Snow leopards are found in 12 countries—including China, Bhutan, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, and Mongolia—but their population is dropping.
