The Snow Leopard has many adaptations, both physical and behavioral. The Snow Leopard's major physical adaptations are; first the nose has special cavity that warms the cold mountain air before it enters the lungs. The Snow Leopard's eyes are really great, they can see six times better than human eyes. This specific adaptation helps to keep the population up because if there are multiple animals all fighting for the same resources the Snow Leopard has the better hand to see it before other predictors like the Wild Boar. The Snow Leopard's ears are very unique because they can flatten out which helps let less heat out of their bodies. The Snow Leopard's front paws are bigger than the paws in the back. They work like snow shoes would, they help to keep the animal from falling into the soft snow. They also have a ton of fur on the bottom of their feet the keep them warm.
The Snow Leopard has many behavioral adaptations as well. The Snow Leopards are solitary animals, like tigers. They only pair during the mating season. Unlike other big cats the Snow Leopard doesn't roar it lets out a low quiet moan when attracting a mate. They are Crepuscular animals, which means that they are most active at dawn and dusk. The Snow Leopard is known for its eminence leaping abilities. They have been known to jump up to 50 feet horizontally and 20 feet vertically. They have also been known to duck behind rocks and other coverings when tracking their prey, and when doing so they
lower their ears so they don't stick up out of their hiding spot.
