About
The snow leopard is a stocky mountain cat built with a dense coat and broad paws for rugged, cold terrain.
Among the big cats in the Panthera genus, the snow leopard is one of the smallest, weighing substantially less than a lion or a tiger. Males are typically larger and heavier than females. Thick, plush fur and a heavy tail make the cat look much bulkier than its true body mass.
From Wikipedia
The snow leopard is a felid species in the genus Panthera. It has a thick whitish to grey fur with black spots on the head and neck, with larger rosettes on the back, flanks and bushy tail.
