My most favorite animal is the snow leopard. This mighty Unica unica lives in the mountainous regions of Nepal and the Himalayas (roams through twelve other countries in central Asia). Snow leopards are generally solitary animals but they have been found hunting in packs. Snow leopards have thick cream-white colored fur with black rosettes and spots. They have large paws and their tail is about the same length as their body; during long nights the snow leopard uses the tail like a scarf/blanket to cover their face. Because snow leopards lack the larynx they cannot roar. Their short teeth require them to strangle prey (similar to cheetahs). Snow leopards are endangered.
