Snow leopards are found in central and south Asia's harsh, snowy, and mountainous alpine environments. The optimum habitat for snow leopards is dismal, dangerous, cold, and desolate — not everyone's the notion of a pleasant place to live. Have you ever seen a snow leopard hunt in the mountains? Do you think a dog could take on a snow leopard? If you want to know, keep watching, as we look at the beautiful snow leopard in action.

Cubs With Mother
At Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, a female snow leopard baby was delivered to first-time mom Sombra and six-time dad Amiga. She's now over eight pounds and has begun to engage with her mother in a more playful manner. Snow leopards are rare, so it’s always nice to see a mom play with her newborn cub. Watch how she jumps over her cub and keeps the little guy on guard. This feisty five-and-a-half-month-old snow leopard cub wants to play with his mom, but she has another thing on her mind, like relaxing and probably taking a nap. These felines are absolutely gorgeous. Snow leopards are masters of disguise and skilled climbers, making them ideal for mountain survival.
There are only around 4,000 snow leopards left in the wild, and they are more endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, retaliatory killing, and climate change. This mom has three cubs and checks out how she carries one of them in her mouth. I almost thought it was a dead kill she was carrying. These cubs are beautiful, but the only problem is they are not seen very often because they keep hiding in their cave. When you watch the way they behave, you just want to grab them and squeeze them in your arms.
Snow Leopard Vs Yak/Dzo
Adult snow leopards are required to kill once every ten days. As he gets closer, he blends into the scenery. The yak smells him, but despite their excellent vision, they can't see him. He zeroes in on a youngster who has wandered off. The calf's mother rushes in, risking her own life to save her offspring. The cat is clinging to life. The mother charges to shake the predator-free. A wingman appears to be assisting the mother. The snow leopard slings away, frustrated by the spectacular escape. As the snow leopard hunts under the cover of darkness. His prize is a young dzo. However, at nearly twice its weight, the snow leopard cannot carry it very far. He eats what he can before returning to his rocky home. It's impossible to hide a kill in these open mountains. Another super predator, a wolf, is drawn to the commotion. In the Himalayas, a gray wolf weighs about the same as a cat, but wolves rarely travel alone.
The pair could easily overpower the lone cat. The snow leopard stands motionless, unable to do anything as he watches the wolves devour their prey. A red fox begins to devour whatever it can as soon as they leave. But it's difficult to eat a meal in peace when you could easily become the meal. It's time for the cat to take back his prey from the scavenger. But there are more scavengers in the wings...magpies. The snow leopard has already suffered enough losses, so he is not in the mood to share. The obnoxious magpies don't let him rest. The cat takes the best meat and walks away, leaving the cleanup crew to squabble over the leftovers. This snow leopard tries to kidnap a baby yak, but it doesn't anticipate the adult yaks defending the young yak. Even though the cat has the calf by the neck, its mother continues to attack the snow leopard until it releases the calf and flees.
