Snow leopards, India Oct 23, 2025

Ever tried spotting a snow leopard in the wild? It"s called the "ghost of the mountains" for a reason—you"re more likely to see its pawprints than the big cat itself. It is sturdy and short-legged compared to other big cats, standing over 55 centimetres at the shoulder and measuring 75 to 150 centimetres from head to body.
