Snow Leopard - Majestic High-Altitude Predator of the Himalayas #3574496 (License: Personal Use)

The snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is a solitary, elusive feline native to the high mountains of Central and South Asia. Its thick, smoky-gray coat features dark rosettes and spots that provide exceptional camouflage among snow-dusted cliffs and boulders, while its long, muscular tail aids balance and warmth. Adapted for extreme altitudes up to 6,000 meters, it hunts wild sheep, goats, and smaller mammals with stealth and precision.
